Chemical weathering is a process by which rocks or other materials build and disintegrate owing to chemical reactions done mainly by water and other substance dissolved in it.
Rocks in humid regions are exposed to hot temperature as well as abundant rainfall which catalyses the process of erosion.
They increase the rate of weathering.
Soil has an important role in this respect.
It absorbs or retains water such that rocks covered by soil are exposed to water for a longer time.
Soil is home to lots of bacteria which causes reactions and produces an environment that is acidic enough to promote chemical weathering.
