CHEMICAL WEATHERING OF ROCK___

1 Hydration

2Hydrolysis

3Carbonation

4Oxidation

ROCK HYDRATION =>Hydration, is the absorption of water in the mineral structure. A good example of hydration is the absorption by anhydrate resulting into formation of gypsum. Hydration expands volume and also results into rock deformation.
