another gas found in air, carbon dioxide, also causes chemical, weathering. Carbon dioxide dissolves in rainwater and in water that sinks through air pockets in the soil. The result is a weak acid called carbonic acid. Carbonic acid easily weathers rocks such as marble and limestone.

can you tell me about chemical and mechanical weathering
Is oxidation mechanical or chemical weathering?
Oxidation is chemical weathering.
What type of weathering is oxidation?
Chemical weathering
Is oxidation part of chemical or mechanical weathering?
chemical
Is oxidation either a chemical or a mechanical weathering?
Oxydation is a chemical phenomenon.
Is oxygen mechanical or chemical weathering?
I Believe it is chemical weathering because oxidation is chemical and involves oxygen and water
What contribute to mechanical and chemical weathering?
Mechanical weathering includes abrading or crushing. Chemical weathering includes dissolution in water or acid rain. Oxidation and reduction reactions can also cause chemical weathering.

The only one from the list above that does not involve some form of chemical change is mechanical weathering.
Is oxidation an example of mechanical weathering?
no. oxidation is a chemical reaction that involves an atom or a molecule losing electrons in a chemical reaction. Mechanical weathering would be something like water seeping into cracks in a rock, then freezing and breaking that rock apart.
