Do rocks dissolve in water?
no they are insoluble
What doesn't dissolve into water?

How can microbes dissolve rocks?
they drip on them and they explode!
How do chemicals contribute to weathering?
Chemicals react with rocks and minerals or dissolve rocks and minerals.
How is the Stonehenge changing?
erosion is causing rocks to dissolve
Where does seawater get its salt?
Rivers dissolve salt from rocks on the Earth.
Can vinegar dissolve rocks?
Calcium acetate is reasonably soluble in water, so vinegar will dissolve limestone (calcium carbonate).
What evidence is there that rocks dissolve?
weathering is the best evidence.all rocks break down when exposed to weathering processes such as erosion
What is plant acids?
carbonic acids dissolve rocks, and caves from underground.
What causes rocks to dissolve?
Rocks dissolve when they come into contact with water containing acidic substances, such as carbon dioxide or sulfuric acid. The acidic water reacts with the minerals in the rock, causing them to break down and dissolve over time. This process is known as chemical weathering.
What form when tannin is release from plants that dissolve rocks?
Tannins are organic compounds released from plants that can dissolve rocks through chelation. Chelation involves tannins binding to metal ions in rocks, leading to their dissolution. This process can contribute to soil formation and nutrient cycling.
Is it true that plant roots produce weak acids that dissolves rocks?
Yes, plants roots release weak organic acids that can help dissolve minerals in rocks. This process, known as rhizosphere acidification, can contribute to the weathering of rocks and release of nutrients that plants can then absorb.
