With physical weathering understood, let's talk about chemical weathering. The minerals found in rocks can sometimes undergo specific chemical reactions to modify the composition of the rock, and this is called chemical weathering. These reactions are typically either acidbase reactions or redox reactions. Let's get a closer look at the chemistry now!
