· Key Takeaways – Processes of Weathering. Weathering is the process of breaking down rocks and minerals on the Earth’s surface. There are three main types of weathering: physical, chemical, and biological. Physical weathering is caused by external forces such as temperature changes, wind, and water. Chemical weathering

Weathering is a geological process that naturally breaks down rocks and minerals at or near the Earth’s surface. It occurs over time scales ranging from years to millennia. Weathering plays a pivotal role in shaping the Earth’s landscapes and influencing the cycling of nutrients and elements.

The following factors contribute to the chemical weathering of limestone: 1. Carbonation. Carbonation is a prominent process where limestone reacts with carbon dioxide dissolved in water, forming calcium bicarbonate. This reaction weakens the structure of the rock, making it more susceptible to further weathering. 2.

Weathering is the process that changes solid rock into sediments. Sediments were described in the Rocks chapter. With weathering, rock is disintegrated. It breaks into pieces. Once these sediments are separated from the rocks, erosion is the process that moves the sediments. Erosion is the next chapter’s topic.

Chemical weathering is the creation of sediment through chemical means. For example, acid rain can react with rocks, dissolving them. Erosion occurs when water transports sediment from one place to another. For example, a river can carry mud downstream. In general, water has more erosional power when it flows faster and has more volume.
