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.

Do you think that climate change has been presented to you as doom and gloom throughout your life? Explain.
kramer

Answer:

I believe that climate change is one of the most serious problems of young generations. At the current pace of greenhouse gas production global warming will increase exponentially, which will result in rising sea levels, certain animal species going extinct. Deforestation also severely adds to this problem as wood is a finite resource on Earth and the more trees we destroy the less oxygen there is relative to the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This will continue to weaken the ozone layer which could result in catastrophe from sun flares or radiation. I do believe that in the near future drastic measures will be taken to prevent these events.
