CARBONATION process by which dissolved carbon dioxide in rainwater or moisture in surrounding air forms carbonic acid and reacts with the minerals in the rock. This process weakens the rock thus breaking it down in the process.
e.g.: Calcium Carbonate + Water + Carbon Dioxide --->Calcium Carbonate (soluble)
HYDROLYSIS
chemical reaction between the minerals in the rock and hydrogen in rain water. For example, during hydrolysis, the feldspar in granite changes to claymineral which crumbles easily, weakening the rock and causing it to break down.OXIDATION The process by which oxygen combine with water and minerals in the rock such as calcium and magnesium. When iron reacts with oxygen, reddish -brown iron oxide is formed. The iron-oxide crust crumbles easily and weakens the rock.
e.g. : Iron + Oxygen --> Iron Oxide (crumbles)SOLUTIONprocess by which minerals in the rocks dissolve directly in water.
HYDRATION process where minerals in the rock absorb water and expand, creating stress which causes the disintegration of rocks.

Climate of chemical weathering?
Chemical weathering is most common in warm and wet climate.
What is the natural wearing down or breaking apart of rocks?
physical
What chemical weathering called oxidation causes and nbsp?
what chemical weathering called oxidation causes
Is bird poop chemical weathering?
Yes. A form of biochemical weathering.
They contribute to mechanical and chemical weathering?
Weathering refers to the disintegration and decomposition of rocks. Pressure, temperature, acid rain, water, ice and wind all contribute to mechanical and chemical weathering.
Two examples of chemical and physical weathering?
Chemical weathering; Acid Rain. Physical; Torndo's Typhoon's Hurricane's etc. Hope this helped.
What is an non example of physical weathering?
What are non examples for physical weathering
What type of weathering is there?
phisical weatheringchemical weatheringandBiological Weathering
What process creates tiny particles from bedrock?
well it is very hard to break up bedrock, but the main process that does is weathering. You have two seperit kinds of weathering. The first one is Chemical Weathering. Chemical weathering is when weathering effects the exterior. two examples are rust and leaching. The second type of weathering is Mechanical Weathering. This effects rocks physically. two examples are abrasion and erosion.SO THE MAIN ANSWER WOULD BE WEATHERING. THE TYPE OF WEATHERING, MECHANICAL WEATHERING, THE PROCESS, ABRASION (well there is more than that but that is the most common situation)
What are two examples of the mechanical weathering?
two examples of mechanical weathering are called wind ,and water.
What are some examples chemical weathering?
Acid rain
What are some non examples of?
What are some non examples of weathering are everything that has to do with no rocks
What are two major categories of weathering?
Mechanical weathering and Chemical weathering
What are two agents of chemical weathering?
There are so many agents of chemical weathering. The two main agents that cause chemical weathering are acid rain and carbon dioxide.
Which two months had the highest rated of chemical weathering?
which two months had the highest rates of chemical weathering
What are non-examples of mechanical weathering?
Mechanical weathering is physical changes that break down and/or cracks the rock, such as ice wedging, temperature changes, root growth, or animal activity. Chemical weathering is a chemical change that changes the chemicals of the substance to make a new one. Examples of chemical weathering include oxidation, acid rain, hydration, and carbonation.
What are the two main types of weathering?
chemical and mechanical weathering :P
