The type of chemical weathering caused when rocks sit in a pool of saltwater is known as salt weathering. Saltwater can seep into the pores or cracks of rocks, where the salt crystals form as the water evaporates. The growth of these crystals puts pressure on the rock, leading to its weathering and eventual breakdown.
Chemical weathering is a type of weathering caused by chemical reactions between minerals in rocks and elements or compounds in the surrounding environment, such as water. This process can lead to the breakdown of minerals and the formation of new minerals.
Frost wedging
Four types of weathering that can occur without water include mechanical weathering caused by temperature changes, chemical weathering due to oxygen in the air, biological weathering from plant roots and burrowing animals, and physical weathering caused by wind abrasion.
Solution weathering is caused when rocks sit in a pool of saltwater.
The two theories if hoodoo formation (aside from metaphysical reasons) are: * Water eroded and cracked the harder cap rock on the hoodoos to be. The water in the cracks froze and thawed cracking off chips which were washed away. When the rough shape of the hoodoo was formed the cap rock biscuit acted as an umbrella to protect the center of the hoodoo. The outer edges then rounded off with ongoing spalling of rock in cycles of wetting and freexzing. * Sand blown by the wind eroded the hoodoos from soft rock. This is discredited by the lack of a single eroded side to the hoodoos caused by prevailing winds

Abrasion caused by particles in water is a type of physical weathering, where rocks are broken down into smaller pieces through mechanical processes like grinding and wearing down by abrasive particles.
If you meant weathering that is caused by water; physical weathering is the answer.

Chemical weathering is the type of weathering caused by chemical reactions in water. This process involves the breakdown of rocks and minerals through chemical reactions with water, leading to the alteration of the rock's composition. Examples of chemical weathering processes in water include hydration, hydrolysis, and oxidation.
