16.
Bill Nye saw a piece of marble that is rough in some places. He thinks it is due to chemical weathering. Why would he predict that chemical weathering can cause marble to be rough?

Acid in rainwater reacts with the calcite to change the material.
b)
Acid rain causes the marble to deteriorate which results in holes.
