the answer is actually A. chemical weathering by oxidation .

chemical weathering works on rocks that contain iron. These rocks turn to rust in a process called oxidation. Rust is a compound created by the interaction of oxygen and iron in the presence of water.

Answer: A. chemical weathering by oxidation

Weathering is a natural process in which the rock is broken down into small pieces and sediments under the influence of agents like wind, water and chemicals. Chemical weathering is a process in which the rocks breaks down due to the effect of the chemicals. It brings change in the chemical composition of the broken pieces and sediments distinct from the parent rock.

Rust on rocks is a an example of chemical weathering by oxidation. The rock mainly exhibiting elements which can be easily oxidized such as iron undergoes rusting this occurs because oxygen breaks the bonds between the elements in the rock. The internal structure of the rock becomes weak and results in rusting.

Describe how the different rates at which land and water are heated affect climate
VARVARA [1.3K]
For the answer to the question above,

Water absorbs vast amounts of energy. Likewise bodies of water release energy very slowly. Areas near water are usually milder. Organic materials (such as plants and animals) tend to absorb more energy. Unlike a desert that holds it. Thus air temp. in a forest is usually cooler than the temp. in a desert.

Since land and water heat at different temperatures, the effects of this process creates climates. For instance, warm weather and moisture from oceans can create hurricanes. I hope this helps
