Answer:
The weathering which takes place due to chemical reaction like carbonation, solutions, oxidation is called as chemical weathering.
Its main types are :
Explanation:
1. Carbonation
1. carbon dioxide in the air gets mixed in the rainwater and forms dilute cardonic acid .
material like limestone get easily dissolved in such acids.
2. Solution
1. Some minerals in the rock get dissolved in water.
Because of this solution, alkalis in the rock dissolve and make them brittle.
3. Oxidation
1. This process occur in rock which have iron present in them. The iron in the rock comes in contact with water and a chemical reaction takes place between iron and oxygen
Hence, a reddish coloured layer form on the rock . This is called rust . It's occurs in rock in areas with high rainfall.
