Acid does indeed cause weathering. It is a common form of chemical weathering, and is sometimes influenced by humans. It is particularly devastating to basic rocks like limestone which neutralise the acid rain, but at the expense of its own volume, as after the neutralisation, the salt is often washed away and the limestone is consequently worn away.

What type of weathering causes acid rain?

Chemical weathering causes acid rain. When sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the atmosphere from human activities, they combine with water vapor to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which then fall to the earth's surface as acid rain.

What is the type of weathering where rock is dissolved by an acid?

Chemical weathering is the type of weathering where rock is dissolved by an acid, such as carbonic acid from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere or sulfuric acid from acid rain. This process occurs when certain minerals in the rock react with the acid, causing it to break down and dissolve over time.


Is limestone dissolved by carbonic acid a chemical weathering or a mechanical weathering?

This is chemical weathering. Carbonic acid (and often sulphuric acid from SO2) destroy CaCO3 (limestone) through chemical attack.Carbonic acid is formed by reaction of H2O and CO2 to create H2CO3.
