What kind of weathering causes mineral composition of rock to change?
Chemical weathering
What are examples of weathering?
such as rain and sleet and snow,
What chemical weathering process occurs when minerals in the rock react with carbon dioxide?
Carbonation. Minerals combine chemically with H2CO3 and form a new product called...Carbonation. Which happens inside the rock :)
Do rocks weather when they wear down or break apart over a long time?
Weathering is the term for the breaking or dissolution of rock over time due to mechanical or chemical means.
What is weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock called?
The type of weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock is called physical weathering. The acid weathering usually alter the chemical composition of a rock.
What is it called when chemical reactions dissolve the minerals in rock or change them into different minerals?
It's called dissolution, a form of chemical weathering.

What kind of weathering chemically changes rock?
Chemical
What kind of weathering formed Carter Caves?
igneous rock
Which kind of rock is formed by weathering erosion deposition?
sagui
Does the age of a rock effect the rate of weathering?
depends on the kind of rock the material it is made of.
What kind of weathering happens when ice forms in cracks in a rock?
When ice forms in cracks in rocks, the kind of weathering is known as mechanical weathering. The type of mechanical weathering that freezes and thaws is frost wedging.
