Chemical weathering
Weathering from mechanical and chemical means is the process that causes rocks to become smaller and smaller; wind, rain, the sun, the freeze/thaw cycle, moving glaciers, chemical reactions, and gravity are some of the causes of weathering.
The causes of chemical weathering include exposure to water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and acids. Erosion is a physical weathering process, not a chemical one.
weathering
It causes chemical weathering because when it touches rocks, the rocks dissolve, forming caves.
the causes of weathering are water, wind, and ice. -your welcome.

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.
Wind and water are the major causes of weathering and erosion.
Oxygen is the major gas that is the cause chemical weathering.
