What rocks are easily eroded by acid rain?
Calcium based rocks like chalk, limestone and marble are some examples of rocks easily erroded by acid rain.
What type of rocks are more easily weathered?
All types of rock can be weathered if near enough to the surface.
Are sedimentary rocks easily eroded?
YES! Sedimentary rocks, like sandstone, limestone and chalk can easily be eroded. This is because the grains in them (different to particles) are further apart to the grains in rocks like igneous rocks. This means that the grains can easily be crumbled off, and you get left with sand.
How do you dissolve limestone rocks?
Any strong enough acid will do. At home you can try this with vinegar (acetic acid) or lemon juice (citric acid).
