5 0

Answer:

A. Water reacts with iron minerals in rock to form rust.

Explanation:

Generally, weathering is the process by which rocks are broken down or disintegrated into smaller particles. However, as the name implies, chemical weathering is the weathering facilitated by chemical reactions.

However, there are various types of chemical weathering, of which one is HYDRATION. Hydration is a type of chemical weathering which involves the reaction of water with the chemical constituents of rocks, which eventually disrupt or changes the structure. Therefore, in chemical weathering, water reacts with iron minerals in rock to form rust.

Why does the moon appear to change its shape as seen from earth?
Fiesta28 [93]
D.
Different parts of the sun lit moon become visible as the moon revolves around earth

This happens because as the moon orbits earth the sun will project light towards it and the reason it seems to glow is because of the reflected light since the moon is white it reflects more light. Think of it as a day and night cycle except it’s on the moon when it becomes night on earth the part of earth facing towards the sun will be lit aka day/morning/afternoon etc
The part of the earth facing away will be dark aka night/midnight/etc.
