What is biogenic weathering?
| March 30, 2021 | education
Biogenic (or biological) weathering is associated with the destruction of rocks, when exposed to living microorganisms (animals and plants). For example, if decomposition products are constantly accumulating in a rock (for example, fallen leaves, tree fruits – apples) during decomposition, they oxidized or corroded the rock, which cracked and disintegrated over time. The same situation can be with the decay of animal remains.
