Alik [6]2 years ago
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 do some scientists theorize that global warming might not be the result of increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide
PtichkaEL [24]

Explanation:

In Earth’s history before the Industrial Revolution, Earth’s climate changed due to natural causes not related to human activity. Most often, global climate has changed because of variations in sunlight. Tiny wobbles in Earth’s orbit altered when and where sunlight falls on Earth’s surface. Variations in the Sun itself have alternately increased and decreased the amount of solar energy reaching Earth. Volcanic eruptions have generated particles that reflect sunlight, brightening the planet and cooling the climate. Volcanic activity has also, in the deep past, increased greenhouse gases over millions of years, contributing to episodes of global warming
