- choose the best answer.
carbonic acid and oxidation are examples of —— weathering because they change the rocks substance.
chemical
physical
dynamic
natural
Chemical weathering involves processes that change the chemical composition of rocks. Carbonic acid forms when carbon dioxide dissolves in water and can react with minerals in rocks. Oxidation is a chemical reaction where minerals react with oxygen. Both carbonic acid and oxidation change the rock's substance at a chemical level. Physical weathering changes the rock's physical form (like breaking into smaller pieces) without changing its chemical composition. "Natural" is too broad. "Dynamic" is not a standard term for this type of weathering classification.
