Chemical Weathering occurs in warm and humid regions. it involves four major processes namely;
a) Oxidation- the process in which the atmosperic oxygen reacts with the rock tp produce oxides.
b) Carbonation- the process by which various types of carbonates ar formed, some of which are soluble in water.
c) Hydration- the process by which water is absorbed by the minerals of the rock.
d) Solution- the process in which some of the minerals get dissolved in water. They are therefore removed in solution.

What starts chemical weathering?
What starts chemical weathering?Oxidation starts chemical weathering.
What type of weathering creates caves or caverns?
Chemical Weathering .
What occurs as the results of a rocks exposure to a chemical?
The answer will depend on what the chemical is! A rock exposed to nitrogen, under normal temperature and pressure will be no different from what it would be otherwise!
Explain different chemical weathering and mechanical weathering?
Chemical weathering rocks may decompose or dissolve and at the same time change in compostion through a certain chemical process to form residuals materials. Mechanical weathering happens when rocks disintegrate or breaks down into smaller pieces through physical forces. (rain, snow, freezing)
Chemical weathering happens more slowly in what areas?
dry areas.that is mainly in desert areas.
What type of weathering never happens in warm climates?
Chemical Weathering
Why does chemical weathering happens?
All weathering is slow because rocks are pretty solid.
Is hydration an example of weathering?
A type of Chemical weathering that happens when water interacts with minerals.
Can you give me some notes about weathering?
There are two types of weathering: chemical and physical. Chemical weathering is said to occur when the chemical compounds of rocks are changed. Physical weathering happens due to wind, rain, or other natural occurrences.
What happens to a rock when exposed to chemical weathering?
its going to brake
Does chemical weathering happen fast?
Yes, it happens very fast.
How is weathering different than erosion?
weathering is part of erosion there are two types of erosion mechanical and chemical. chemical refers to elements such as oxygen and Iron which cause a chemical change such as rust and oxidation mechanical weathering is when rocks or materials are separated by water mass movement etc
Why chemical weathering would not be rapid in antarctica?
Because it's cold and dry and chemical weathering usually happens in warm and wet areas like the tropical areas
Is a type of weathering caused by chemical reaction with water?
yes, liquid water is a unit of chemical weathering. ice is a unit of physical weathering.
What starts chemical weathering?
What starts chemical weathering?Oxidation starts chemical weathering.
How are weathering and chemical weathering related?
mechanical weathering and chemical weathering are related because their both are types of weathering
Are stalactites a form chemical weathering?
Stalactites are a result of the processes of chemical weathering, not a form of chemical weathering.
