Answer

  • In the mountains, rocks are broken by glaciers at higher altitudes than the ice line, as well as in areas of central and high latitudes.
  • Thus changes in temperature and frost cause cracks in the rocks.
  • This is called "physical or mechanical rupture".
  • Plants, humans, animals and even some organisms play a role in this type of erosion.
  • The roots of the plant go deep into the soil.
  • In the same way some animals make their own rates by carving out soil and rocks.
  • This breaks the rocks.
  • Humans also try to get minerals out of rocks by breaking them.
  • All these activities involve physical erosion.
