oxidation. and im 100% right lol. cause i got the same question wrong on the test and shown the right answer, which is oxidation.
oxidation-apex
Sunlight and wind can cause weathering.
That would be oxidation.
yes
The two main types of weathering are physical weathering and chemical weathering. Physical weathering involves water, wind and dust scraping away at rocks, while chemical weathering involves chemicals, usually acids, breaking down the rock.

Since you did not specify which types of weathering you meant (necessary for this question to properly be answered), I will just summarize a bit of basic information on weathering and try to answer as best as I can in the most general sense.There are three general types of weathering: mechanical (sometimes called physical), chemical, and biological. Chemical weathering entails the alteration of the chemical and mineralogical composition of the weathered material. Physical weathering is the breakdown of mineral or rock material by entirely mechanical methods. Biological weathering involves the disintegration of rock and mineral due to the chemical and/or physical agents of an organism.Chemical types can be caused by processes that require water (such as hydrolysis, or carbonation - when there is formation of carbonic acid from carbon dioxide and water). Physical types contain processes that may not, though. For example, a type of physical weathering is abrasion, which is when there are collisions that can be caused by wind (although it can also be caused by water or ice). Sometimes biological weatheringdoes not require water - such as when particles fracture because of animal burrowing or due to pressure being exerted by growing roots.

Oxidation (The bonding of oxygen to iron in the presence of water) Carbonation (Water + Carbon dioxide --> Carbonic acid) Acid Rain (SO2 or NOx + Water --> Acid Rain) All of the above will cause chemical weathering
