Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on Earths surface.
Biological weathering is weathering caused by plants and animals. Plants and animals release acid forming chemicals that cause weathering and also contribute to the breaking down of rocks and landforms.

Sedimentary Rock
(Sandstone)
Exhibits a clastic texture and contains mostly sand grains
Sandstones are economically important as major reservoirs for both petroleum and water, as building materials, and as valuable sources of metallic ores. Most significantly, they are the single most useful sedimentary rock type for deciphering Earth history.
