Chemical reactions break down the bonds holding the rocks together, causing them to fall apart, forming smaller and smaller pieces. Chemical weathering is much more common in locations where there is a lot of water. This is because water is important to many of the chemical reactions that can take place. Warmer temperatures are also more friendly to chemical weathering.

Chemical weathering.
Rocks that are rich in the mineral Calcite, such as limestone, are especially vulnerable to chemical weathering.
Physical weathering is different from chemical weathering because physical weathering is when a river is to weather away the rock. Chemical is when acid precipitation is too dissolve the rock.

All weathering is slow because rocks are pretty solid.
Physical weathering is breaking down of rocks by weather that does not change their chemical components. Chemical weathering is weathering that breaks rocks down by a chemical change.
Physical weathering and chemical weathering both break down rocks.
There are two types of weathering: chemical and physical. Chemical weathering is said to occur when the chemical compounds of rocks are changed. Physical weathering happens due to wind, rain, or other natural occurrences.
The type of chemical weathering that breaks down rocks is acid.
Chemical weathering breaks down rocks
it is chemical weathering
It's called chemical weathering. Think acid rain.
Mechanical weathering is the breaking down of rock without chemical reaction.Mechanical weathering is also when water gets into the cracks of the rocks and makes the rocks expand.Like ice wedging.while chemical weathering changes the rocks by chemicals.
chemical weathering
Chemical weathering.
Chemical weathering affects rocks rain, wind or ice . Chemical weathering is the process that changes the composition ( the inside) of rocks on the earth surface.
