Acidic water can react with limestone to break the rock down and form caves in the Earth's surface. This is an example of ______
blagie [28]

Answer:

Filling in the blank, this is an example of <u>chemical weathering</u> which happens <u>to rocks</u> overtime.

Explanation:

Chemical weathering occurs when rocks are disintegrated by chemicals.

Rain water becomes acid rain when it reacts with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (to form carbonic acid, HCO3).

When acidic rainwater falls and stays on rocks, chemical reactions take place with the minerals present in the rock, causing the rock to weather.

Areas with immense carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide pollution increases rain water acidity, which in turn causes moisture in the atmosphere to dissolve these gases and produce acid rain.
