Clints and grykes are caused by exposed limestone bedrock being weathered by rainfall over many years.
The process is called chemical weathering.

what chemical weathering called oxidation causes
the causes of weathering are water, wind, and ice. -your welcome.
Oxidation in chemical weathering causes minerals containing iron to rust. This process breaks down the minerals and can weaken the rock structure, leading to eventual disintegration.
Weathering from mechanical and chemical means is the process that causes rocks to become smaller and smaller; wind, rain, the sun, the freeze/thaw cycle, moving glaciers, chemical reactions, and gravity are some of the causes of weathering.
It is called Oxydation
The causes of chemical weathering include exposure to water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and acids. Erosion is a physical weathering process, not a chemical one.
When water freezes in cracks, it expands and can cause the crack to widen, leading to a process known as freeze-thaw weathering. This process is a form of mechanical weathering, where the repeated freezing and thawing of water weakens the rock and causes it to break apart.
True
Physical weathering is any process that causes erosion. Volcanic eruptions, wind, precipitation and earthquakes are the most common forms.
Weathering is the process by which rocks are broken down into smaller pieces, ultimately leading to the formation of soil. Erosion, on the other hand, is the transport of these weathered particles by wind, water, or ice. So, weathering transforms rock into soil, while erosion moves that soil to a new location.
