Rainwater is slightly acidic and will react with the calcium carbonate found in limestone and other rocks. The resultant erosion is an example of chemical weathering.

What is different between physical weathering and chemical weathering?
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.
How do physical weathering and chemical weathering affect rocks in the same way.?
Physical weathering and chemical weathering both break down rocks.
What type of weathering causes acid rain?
carbonation is an example of chemical weathering carbonation is an example of chemical weathering
When acid rain breaks down rocks by reacting with their minerals what type of weathering would this be an example of?
chemical weathering
What in chemical weathering breaks down rocks?
The type of chemical weathering that breaks down rocks is acid.
Where is chemical weathering?
Warm and wet, most chemical weathering because they have the most precipitation.
Does chemical weathering cause a break down in the color and size of rocks?
Chemical weathering breaks down rocks
What is the process that breaks down rocks chemically?
It's called chemical weathering. Think acid rain.
Halite in rocks dissolving in water is a mechanical or chemical weathering?
it is chemical weathering
What is the differences of chemical and mechanical weathering?
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.
Acid rain breaks down rocks by reacting with their minerals. This process is an example of?
chemical weathering
Does chemical weathering change the chemicals in rocks?
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.
