Human is an agent of weathering because-
  1. Man is a biological agent of weathering. Due to economic and technological development, man has become the most powerful agent of weathering and erosion.
  2. Mining, blasting of hills and ridges for road and dam construction, quarrying for industrial and building materials, etc., results in a fast rate of disintegration of rocks.
  3. Man accelerates the rate of weathering on hill slopes through activities like deforestation.
