Question
what might cause chemical weathering
volcanic eruptions
growing plants and expanding ice
acid rain
violent earthquakes
Chemical weathering involves chemical reactions that alter the composition of rocks. Acid Rain contains acidic components (like sulfuric and nitric acids) that react with minerals in rocks (e.g., carbonates) to dissolve or chemically change them. Volcanic eruptions are more related to igneous processes/physical weathering triggers. Growing plants and expanding ice cause physical weathering (mechanical breakdown). Violent earthquakes are a tectonic/physical event, not chemical weathering.
