Chemical Weathering – Examples, Types & Reactions

Weathering of rocks is due to the processes of mechanical disintegration and chemical decomposition. It can happen due to different physical, chemical and biological factors of nature.

Chemical weathering is the process by which rocks are decomposed by chemical processes like Hydration, reduction, oxidation, carbonation, etc. All these can be discussed under chemical factors.
