Answer:

Biological Evolution

Step-by-step explanation:

Weathering of rock is the process of breakdown of rocks into smaller particles and is carried out by air, water, wind and various life forms.

Biological evolution is the process of accumulation of beneficial variations in individuals over generations. It results in the origin of new species or changes the allele frequencies in the gene pool of the population. But it does not affect the process of weathering of rocks.
