Hydrolysis is a type of chemical weathering that can react with water and the mineral feldspar to produce

• kaolin.

• limestone.

• iron.

When carbon dioxide gas combines with water to make carbonic acid that then chemically combines with the minerals in rocks to form carbonates is called

• hydrolysis.

• oxidation.

• carbonation.

Minerals in rocks can chemically dissolve from nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide gases combining with water in the air to make nitric, nitrous, and sulfuric acids and this occurs.

• carbonation

• acid precipitation

• organic acids

Joints in rock that are parallel to the surface break into curved sheets and peel away from the underlying rock in a process called

• abrasion.

• ice wedging.

• exfoliation.
