Chemical weathering is one of many examples of weathering, a phenomenon that also includes mechanical weathering. In chemical weathering, the molecules within rocks and soil undergo changes as a result of chemical reactions. Examples include hydrolysis, hydration, carbonation and acid rain.

We have been plugging away with our large landform unit. As we wait for the Foss Kits to show up I have been busy teaching weathering. As we move away from weathering onto erosion I wanted to show what we have done so far. Here is what we have done in science in the past two weeks (not including the GLAD component which I will make a separate post on later): Weathering Experiment: I took some different rocks from my yard (pebbles and decorative rocks bought at Home Depot) and placed them in…

Chemical weathering occurs when rocks are weakened and broken down through chemical reactions. This process involves a chemical change, which actually alters the rock's or mineral’s chemical composition. Chemical weathering is more common in wet, humid areas than in dry ones, because moisture is an important component of many types of chemical weathering.
