Find out the names of two rocks that can be chemically weathered by natral rainwater?
I had the exact same question for one of my exams... I am fairly sure that the answer is: Granite and Limestone are two rocks that can be chemically weathered by natural rainwater. Hope I helped ! Alexx
What sedimentary rock does granite turn into?
Granite is an igneous rock formed from the cooling of molten magma. It does not directly turn into a sedimentary rock through metamorphism. Instead, it can be weathered and eroded to form sediment, which may then become sedimentary rock through compaction and cementation processes.
How can dolomite be chemically weathered by rain water?
Dolomite can be chemically weathered by rainwater through a process called carbonation. Rainwater, which is slightly acidic due to dissolved carbon dioxide, reacts with dolomite to form carbonic acid. This acid then reacts with the dolomite, dissolving it and releasing calcium and magnesium ions into the rainwater.
What happens to granite if it is melted?
"lava"
How can granite weather chemically?
Granite can weather chemically primarily through processes like hydrolysis, oxidation, and carbonation. During hydrolysis, feldspar minerals in granite react with water and carbon dioxide to form clay minerals and soluble ions, altering the rock's composition. Oxidation occurs when iron-bearing minerals in granite react with oxygen, leading to rusting and structural breakdown. Carbonation involves the reaction of carbonic acid (formed from carbon dioxide and water) with minerals, further contributing to the chemical weathering of granite.
Is granite chemically weathered?
yep

Are sedimentary rocks chemically weathered?
Sedimentary rocks can be both chemically and mechanically weathered.
Can vinegar dissolve a granite rock?
No. Granite is very chemically resistant.
How does the type of rock affect how it is chemically weathered?
It affects it by when you do it well, it happensedews
What happens to a old rusty piece of granite?
It gets weathered into sediment or it could be subjected to heat and pressure and become a metamorphic rock, or it could melt into magma and cool into an igneous rock.
What type of rock does china clay come from?
Granite, china clay is a by product of granite which means when granite is weathered and put under pressure china clay is formed . Hope this helps!
What would have to happen to granite for it to become a sedimentary rock?
It would have to be weathered & the fragments cemented together.
What happens to a rock when its weathered?
it turns to sediment
Where can one purchase a large supply of decomposed granite?
Decomposed granite is granite that is weathered and has been broken down into gravel sized particles. One can purchase a large supply of decomposed granite by ordering it from a home improvement store such as Home Depot or Lowe's.

What must happen for the quarts to separate from the granite rock and become sediments?
The granite has to be weathered, and then the resulting material has to be eroded and subjected to a process that sorts the quartz grains from the other minerals in the granite. Quartz grains tend to be harder than other clasts in weathered granite, so they tend to remain intact while mica and feldspar are reduced to a fine clay. The quartz sand may then settle out of water where the clay does not, or be left behind when the clay blows away in the wind.
