Is feldspar mixing with acidic groundwater and producing clay minerals chemical or weathering?
This is a chemical process.
What occurs during the weathering process?
There are 2 main processes of weathering, mechanical weathering and chemical weathering. In both processes the rocks are broken down. In the mechanical weathering process the rocks are simply made smaller. they are the same composition, just smaller pieces. In the process of chemical weathering the minerals in the rocks undergo a chemical change, they break down. This break down of minerals make them easier to erode. But, erosion is a different question.
What are the conditions for carbonation weathering?
carbonation is the process of chemical weathering whereby minerals that contains soda, lime, potash, or basic oxides are changed to carbonates by the carbonic acid in the air or water. It is when the rock starts to break down and leaves holes and crakes in the rock and sands down as years pass.
What is weathearing?
weathering is a process of disintegration of rock or minerals due to physical, chemical, biological action in the surrounding atmosphere.
What minerals are susceptible to chemical weathering by dissolution?
Your question is somewhat odd, you use the words "chemical weathering" and "dissolution" together.Chemical weathering is usually a process of weathering by "solution" in which case the minerals susceptible to this would be:- Carbonates and halides.Dissolution means decomposition into fragments or parts, a disintegration or liquefaction. There are some minerals that will do this, for instance Iron Pyrites.
What is carbonic acid abd how does it effect chemical weathering process?
Carbonic acid is an acid formed by diluting co2 in water. It weathers calcite minerals by reaction with them (Lime stone)
What process has occurred when limestone in the earth has been eaten away by carbonic acid?
Chemical Weathering

Is mechanical weathering a chemical process?
No. It is a physical process. Chemical weathering is a chemical process.
Acid rain breaks down rocks by reacting with their minerals. This process is an example of?
chemical weathering
What chemical weathering process occurs when minerals in the rock react to carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide plus water can dissolve minerals.

Is oxidation of iron an important chemical weathering process for ferromagnesian silicate minerals like olivine and biotite?
yes
Is chemical weathering a physical process?
No, it is a chemical process.
