Kao, or kaolinite, forms primarily through the weathering of feldspar-rich rocks in the presence of water and acidic conditions. The processes involved include hydrolysis, where feldspar minerals break down into clay minerals, and the leaching of soluble ions. Additionally, the stability of kaolinite at low temperatures and its formation in humid environments contribute to its occurrence. Overall, the interplay of chemical weathering and environmental factors drives the formation of kaolinite.
