Question

Oxidation is which type of weathering

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Another type of chemical weathering is oxidation. Oxidation is the reaction of a substance with oxygen. You are probably familiar with oxidation because it is the process that causes rust. So, just like your car turns to rust through oxidation, rocks can get rusty if they contain iron.

Answer 2

$\huge \mathfrak{answer}$

Oxidation is the chemical weathering.

The atmospheric oxygen in the presence of moisture enters into chemical union with minerals, especially those with iron contents. It causes the rusting of iron, which leads to decay, and decomposition. The original colour of the rock changes into red, yellow, or brown. This process is called Oxidation.

Wᴇᴀᴛʜᴇʀɪɴɢ :-

The term weathering is used for the breaking up and decay of exposed rocks. The weathering of rocks is caused by changes in temperature, frost action, plants, animals and humans activities.

The process which involves the loosening, disintegration and decomposition of rocks at or near the earth's surface is called weathering.

Factors responsible for weathering are –

• type of rocks
• climatic condition
• type of vegetation cover
• slope of land
• exposure to sun

Type of weathering –

1. Mechanical weathering – disintegration of rock

2. Chemical weathering – decomposition of rocks

3. Biological weathering
