question 11 of 32
carbonic acid forms when carbon dioxide dissolves in water. carbonic acid can break down limestone in a process called carbonation. what kind of erosion would carry the rock particles away?
a. chemical erosion
b. wind erosion
c. glacial uplift
d. mass movement

Explanation:

Carbonic acid is formed through a chemical - reaction when carbon dioxide dissolves in water. The breakdown of limestone by carbonic acid is a chemical process. Chemical erosion involves the breakdown and removal of rock through chemical reactions. Wind erosion is caused by wind, glacial uplift is related to glaciers and is not an erosion type for carrying rock particles away in this context, and mass movement is the movement of large amounts of soil and rock under the influence of gravity.

Answer:

A. Chemical erosion
