- Chemical weathering is acid rain. If it rains onto carbonate rocks e.g. limestone, they undergo a chemical reaction. This breaks down the rock.
- Biological weathering is animals and plants. Rabbits burrow under rocks which weakens them. Tree roots grow through rocks and weaken them. Weak rock breaks up easily.

What occurs as the results of a rocks exposure to a chemical?
The answer will depend on what the chemical is! A rock exposed to nitrogen, under normal temperature and pressure will be no different from what it would be otherwise!
