Chemical weathering is the dissolution, carbonation, oxidation, or hydrolysis of rock and mineral by chemical means only, mostly from reactions with water or the acids contained in rainwater.Other materials are formed in the process. Warm, tropical climates are ideal environments for chemical weathering to take place as the chemical reactions are quickened by the bountiful rain and warm temperatures. Water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, living organisms, and acid precipitation.
What else can I help you with?
Weathering by abrasion is usually caused by?
Wind-blown sand causes Mechanical Weathering of rocks by abrasion
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 the differences between physical weathering and surface waters?
physical weathering is weathering that you can reverse and chemical weathering is where you can' reverse it.
Why does June and July have the highest rate of chemical weathering?
It has the highest rate of chemical weathering because chemical weathering occurs much faster in hot, humid climates. This makes rain forests a target for chemical weathering, and in hot seasons, the weathering skyrockets.
What are some differences of physical weathering and chemical weathering?
Physical weathering is due to: rocks hitting other rocks causing them to break up from the action of frost and ice the action of wind or waves or running water the action of plants. Chemical weathering changes the composition of the rock and is due to: water dissolving minerals in the rock oxidation of metals in the rock
What are the three main causes of weathering?
The three main causes of weathering are physical weathering (e.g. wind, water, and ice), chemical weathering (e.g. oxidation and hydrolysis), and biological weathering (e.g. plant roots and burrowing animals). These processes break down rocks and minerals into smaller particles over time.
What chemical weathering called oxidation causes and nbsp?
what chemical weathering called oxidation causes
What are three causes of the chemical weathering of rocks?
Three causes of chemical weathering of rocks are exposure to water, exposure to oxygen, and contact with acidic substances such as acid rain. These elements can break down the minerals in rocks by chemical reactions, leading to the weakening and eventual breakdown of the rock material.
What gas causes chemical weathering?
Oxygen is the major gas that is the cause chemical weathering.
What are three cause of weathering of the lithosphere?
Three causes of weathering of the lithosphere are physical weathering, which includes processes like frost action and plant roots breaking up rocks; chemical weathering, which involves chemical reactions that weaken or dissolve rocks; and biological weathering, where organisms like lichens and bacteria contribute to rock breakdown.
What are the three major categories of weathering?
-Mechanical weathering -Chemical weathering -Biological weathering
What kind of weathering causes mineral composition of rocks to change?
Chemical weathering
What kind of weathering causes mineral composition of rock to change?
Chemical weathering
What kinds of weathering causes the mineral composition of rocks to change?

What is the following causes of chemical weathering of rock and soil except?
The causes of chemical weathering include exposure to water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and acids. Erosion is a physical weathering process, not a chemical one.
What causes chemical weatering?
Chemical weathering is caused by chemical reactions in the substance, for example, when oxidation causes rusting.
What are the three agents of chemical weathering?
water,acids and air are all agents of chemical weathering
