Answer: Plant growth, animal actions and pressure release

Explanation:

The weathering is a process of disintegration of rocks into small pieces and sediments. This is caused by chemical or physical agents.

Mechanical weathering is also called as physical weathering. It is caused by the physical activities on the surface of rocks. The following are the examples of mechanical weathering.

1. Plant growth: The plants which grows over the surface of rocks, their roots may penetrate the rocks which causes the disintegration or rocks.

2. Animal actions: The animals may exert their pressure over the surface of rocks. They may create burrows like rat or mice inside the rocks.

3. Pressure release: The rock which was under pressure, instantly if pressure released, the structure of rock will become unstable, this may lead to the disintegration of the rock.
