by changing the
chemical
composition.

Solute- substance dissolving in a
liquid
Ex) Salt dissolving in water
Soluble – able to dissolve in a fluid
Ex) Salt is soluble in water

Powerful Solutions:
Acid Rain H2O (rain) + CO2 (carbon dioxide) = H2CO3 (carbonic acid)
Result:
*Dissolves limestone, calcite, and marble rock
*Underground cave systems

The details of marble statues and
tombstones will be gradually worn
away by dissolution. Image courtesy of Dr. Annabelle Foos.

Sinkhole at Winter Park, Florida (1981) that formed catastrophically in the time span of one day. The city of
Winter Park stabilized and sealed the sinkhole, converting it into an urban lake.

Create Plant Acid
Damp roots secrete carbon dioxide => carbonic acid

Chemical weathering occurs in warm,
humid climates

Hydration
=>
Water combines with elements making
rock weaker

Oxidation –
Elements reacting with Oxygen
Ex) Iron + Oxygen = Iron Oxide (rust)
