Types of chemical weathering include hydrolysis, oxidation, carbonation, and solution. Hydrolysis breaks down minerals through the addition of water, while oxidation involves the reaction of minerals with oxygen. Carbonation occurs when minerals react with carbonic acid, and solution involves the dissolution of minerals in water.
Chemical weathering
Hydrolysis is a source of chemical weathering, where minerals in rocks are broken down by the chemical reaction with water.
Chemical weathering is a type of weathering caused by chemical reactions between minerals in rocks and elements or compounds in the surrounding environment, such as water. This process can lead to the breakdown of minerals and the formation of new minerals.
Oxidation is a type of chemical weathering where minerals in rocks react with oxygen to form new minerals. It typically leads to the rusting of iron-bearing minerals in rocks.

Chemical weathering
The type of chemical weathering that breaks down rocks is acid.
The type of weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock is called physical weathering. The acid weathering usually alter the chemical composition of a rock.
