What are some kinds of chemical weathering?
the causes of chemical weathering is: erosion, water, oxygen, and living organisms.
What is an agent of chemical weathering which combines with water to form a Carbonic acid?
Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere combines with water to form carbonic acid, it is a form of acid rain.
The most important acid involved in chemical weathering is?
Two acids are important: nitric and sulfuric.
What is the importance of water to chemical weathering?
in chemical the minerals present in the rock dissolve in water causing chemical weathering
Halite in rocks dissolving in water is a mechanical or chemical weathering?
it is chemical weathering
Does Water and carbonic acid play a major role in the chemical weathering of rocks?
Yes, it is correct; for example calcium carbonate react with carbonic acid.

What is an agent of chemical weathering which combines with water to form a Carbonic acid?
Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere combines with water to form carbonic acid, it is a form of acid rain.
Chemical weathering by water?
Oxidation (The bonding of oxygen to iron in the presence of water) Carbonation (Water + Carbon dioxide --> Carbonic acid) Acid Rain (SO2 or NOx + Water --> Acid Rain) All of the above will cause chemical weathering
Is hydration an example of weathering?
A type of Chemical weathering that happens when water interacts with minerals.
The most important acid involved in chemical weathering is?
Two acids are important: nitric and sulfuric.
What are 2 examples of mechanical and chemical weathering?
One example of chemical weathering is acid rain another is acid fog. An example of mechanical weathering is water eroding away mountains or water creating a river. by.....
Does chemical weathering involve water?
Chemical weathering does not involve water, that is physical weathering
Is oxidation a chemical or mechanical weathering?
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.
What role of gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide in chemical weathering?
Oxygen causes oxidation reactions; carbon dioxide with water (as carbonic acid) dissolve minerals.
What is the importance of water to chemical weathering?
in chemical the minerals present in the rock dissolve in water causing chemical weathering
What type of weathering is represented by the dissolution of limestone in acid?
type of weathering represented by dissolution of lime stone in acid is known as chemical weathering and is mainly expirienced in coastal regions as rain water dissoves CO2 in the air forming a weak carbonic acid which then dissolves limestone in the area in the process of chemical weathering and it results in the formation of karst scenary.
