Answer:
The terms used to describe the given process in Chemical weathering.
Explanation:
Weathering of rock is defined as breaking down of the rock into small pieces.
There are two types pf weathering :
Mechanical weathering : This weathering is due to change in physical parameters : temperature change, pressure change etc.
For example : When water soaked up in cracks or crevices of rocks freezes it expands and physically breaks the rock.
Chemical weathering : This weathering is decomposition of rocks due to action of chemicals.This type of weathering also changes chemical composition of rocks.
For example : when gases like carbon dioxide, sulfur oxide get dissolves in water present in rock to form weak acid which ease up the dissolving of rock in that weak acid.
