Farmers benefit from mechanical weathering because it ___.
- discourages pests
- helps create soil
- encourages increased rainfall
- plows fields naturally
Mechanical weathering helps create soil by breaking down rocks to create the soils and then breaking down minerals to create vital nutrients important to farmers.

How might acid rain change the look of an ancient stone sculpture?
- by wearing away its features
- by turning the upper surfaces blue
- by causing the stone to buckle and fold
- by changing the stone to metal
Acid rain slowly dissolves many types of stone. Calcium based minerals such as marble and limestone are particularly vulnerable.
