The chemicals in the water break down the rocks, so water breaking rocks is an example of chemical weathering :)
Also, acids are a form of chemical weathering, as the chemicals dissolve the limestone :) Hope this helped!!
The wind does not contain chemicals, nor is there a chemical process in the plant roots splitting the rocks.

Answer: Water Breaking Rocks  

Explanation:  Chemical weathering is the process of changing the rock's chemicals and transforming the rock's internal structure I.e interaction with the various minerals to create adjustments.  

Further Explanation:

Certain processes like the dissolution and carbonation, hydration and the hydrolysis and the process of oxidation create the resultant charges on the rocks. Thus the water as natural resource breaks the rocks internally and weakens the trough the cracks and crevices and causes the temperature changes during the night and day time.

And thus causes the dissolution's minerals as in the case of rainfall as air has atmospheric carbon and pH content.

As the water reacts with the content of the rocks and through the process of oxidization the running water similar to water has got force and momentum it can easily displace large quantities of rocks.

The repeated action of freezing and the thawing of the rocks as an effect the common minerals that form the rock-like iron and various oxides of chemicals get mixed and the rocks get degraded faster. Chemical weathering occurs faster in hot and wet places. Like those of the sandstone and the limestone rocks get easily corrode by the running water and thus forms various unique features.

Water thus has the erodability and completely alters the formation of rocks on earth.  Various cliffs and hanging valleys of glaciers are formed by the impacts of the water's diverse form of agent that acts on the surface of the earth.  

Thus the hardness, durability, and texture of the rocks all depend on the intensity of the water that reacts with the surface of the rock. Sedimentary rocks are most affected by the presence of the water mass.

Looking at the modern day statistics do you think it was wise of the framers of the constitution to have two legislative bodies
Lesechka [4]

If there was only one house of representatives the smaller states will have less representation.

Explanation:

The original model of the house of representatives was taken from Britain. There are two senators per state and then there is the house of representatives where the number of members depends on the population of the state.

If the senate is removed, there will be less representation for the smaller states and thus there will be a chance they can be cornered.

The issue with this, is that constitutionally, all states are to be equal in the eyes of  the federal government in the Federation.
