Erosion
The type of chemical weathering that breaks down rocks is acid.

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.

Weathering
When rocks undergo weathering, they can form sedimentary rocks. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller sediments, which then get compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rocks.
The process called weathering is responsible for the breaking up and wearing away of the Earth's rocks. The broken up rocks are then carried away by the process of erosion.
weathering
Mechanical weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces through physical processes like freeze-thaw cycles, root wedging, and abrasion. Chemical weathering alters the composition of rocks through chemical reactions with water, oxygen, and acids. Together, these processes can weaken and erode Earth's surface, shaping landscapes over time.
Chemical weathering is a type of weathering that breaks down rocks by changing the substances within them. This process involves the dissolution, carbonation, oxidation, and hydrolysis of minerals in the rocks, leading to their decomposition.
