Ll of the following cause mechanical weathering except a. ice c. burrowing animals b. tree roots d. carbonic acid

All of the following cause mechanical weathering EXCEPT d. carbonic acid, which causes chemical weathering. Mechanical weathering is defined as a physical process where rocks are broken down into smaller pieces through movement, abrasion, pressure, and temperature changes. Chemical weathering, on the other hand, makes use of chemical reactions to break down rocks.

Gravity

Explanation:

All matter exerts a force, which is called , that pulls all other matter towards its center. The strength of the force depends on the mass of the object: the Sun has more gravity than Earth, which in turn has more gravity than an apple. Also, the force weakens with distance. Objects far from the Sun won’t be influenced by its gravity.
