Answer 1

Hello,

Chemical weathering can be considered by the "rusting of rock". 

Weathering can be described of the breaking down of rocks and other materials on the Earth's surface. There are three types of weathering: mechanical, chemical, and biological. Mechanical weathering is the type of weathering in which rock is physically broken into smaller pieces. Chemical weathering is the type  of weathering in which chemical changes break down rock. Biological weathering is the type of weathering in which animal, plant, and microbes means weaken and or disintegrate rock.
