Acids "eat into" rock minerals particularly those that are alkaline (limestone). Living things produce substances that can turn into acids such as the carbon dioxide they breath out (which forms Carbonic Acid). Further organic material decays to produces organic acids (for instance the rotting of moss in a peat bog acidifies the water in it).

How does acid precipitation cause chemical weathering?
Acids dissolves materials .
What is chemical weathering when limestone rock is dissolved by natural acids like carbonic acid?
I love Jessa with all my heart
What uses nitrogen?
All living things use nitrogen to build amino acids, nucleic acids, and ATP.
What is a cause of chemical weathering?
acids, air, water, oxidation, ground water, acid rain, and acid that comes from living things
Do acids cause mechanical weathering?
No, acids cause chemical weathering.
How do living things impact weathering and erosion?
Living things move sediments and soil from one place to another. Plants break down things with mechanical weathering.

Is natural rock acids mechanical or chemical weathering?
Chemical
What are the factors of chemical weathering?
acids and oxegen
Acids and growth of plants' root cause which type of weathering?
chemical weathering
Does Natural acids cause chemical weathering?
yes
What are three causes of chemical weathering?
Chemical weathering is the dissolution, carbonation, oxidation, or hydrolysis of rock and mineral by chemical means only, mostly from reactions with water or the acids contained in rainwater.Other materials are formed in the process. Warm, tropical climates are ideal environments for chemical weathering to take place as the chemical reactions are quickened by the bountiful rain and warm temperatures. Water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, living organisms, and acid precipitation.
How do acids in groundwater cause chemical weathering?
It causes chemical weathering because when it touches rocks, the rocks dissolve, forming caves.
