Groundwater causes chemical weathering by speeding reactions between reactive materials. Typical would be an oxidizing reaction, such as the formation of rust in rocks containing iron, or the dissolution of limestone by carbonic acid.

What process is the cause of groundwater erosion?
The process of groundwater erosion is chemical weathering
Is feldspar mixing with acidic groundwater and producing clay minerals chemical or weathering?
This is a chemical process.
What are two agents of chemical weathering?
There are so many agents of chemical weathering. The two main agents that cause chemical weathering are acid rain and carbon dioxide.
What type of weathering causes acid rain?
carbonation is an example of chemical weathering carbonation is an example of chemical weathering
How does air in living things cause chemical weathering?
It doesn't. If it is IN a living thing it is not available to cause weathering elsewhere!
What process is the cause of groundwater erosion?
The process of groundwater erosion is chemical weathering
How do acids in groundwater cause chemical weathering?
It causes chemical weathering because when it touches rocks, the rocks dissolve, forming caves.
Does groundwater cause erosion?
Yes, It does because, it's through chemical weathering.
Is feldspar mixing with acidic groundwater and producing clay minerals chemical or weathering?
This is a chemical process.
What most common cause of chemical weathering?
The most common cause of chemical weathering is oxygen
What is most common cause of chemical weathering?
The most common cause of chemical weathering is oxygen
Do acids cause mechanical weathering?
No, acids cause chemical weathering.
Is water a cause of physical weathering or chemical weathering?
It is a cause of both.
What gas causes chemical weathering?
Oxygen is the major gas that is the cause chemical weathering.
What types of weathering that does not cause chemical changes?
mechanical weathering
Why is limestone least resistant to weathering and erosion?
It is susceptible to chemical weathering more than other rocks from exposure to naturally acidic rainfall and groundwater.
Is carbonic acid in water an example of chemical weathering?
Carbon dioxide dissolved in water is a cause of chemical weathering.
