the rate depends on several factors: composition of the rocks, chemical makeup, stability, amount of time that rock is exposed on earths surface, and the amount of rock exposed

# data[].attributes.body
this weathering is the change of the chemical makeup or composition in a rock; water, oxidation, carbonation, sulfuric acid, and plant acids are all causes of chemical weathering

# data[].attributes.body
rocks are broken into different shapes and smaller pieces; temperature can break apart rocks; exfoliation- type of breaking off of rock, temperature causes this; frost action is a common cause of mechanical weathering; organic activity, gravity, and abrasion are also common factors for organic weathering

# data[].attributes.body
it's a slow continuous process; there are 2 types of weathering- mechanical and chemical;

# data[].attributes.body
a rock that can resist chemical weathering

# data[].attributes.body
the process when carbonic acid reacts chemically with other substances

# data[].attributes.body
the process in which oxygen chemically combines with another substance

# data[].attributes.body
when changes in the mineral composition or chemical makeup of rocks changes

# data[].attributes.body
the wearing away of rocks by solid particles carried by wind, water, or other forces

# data[].attributes.body
a large movement of loose rocks and soil

# data[].attributes.body
type of organic activity where a plant growing in a crack in a rock can make the crack larger as the plant's roots grow and spread out

# data[].attributes.body
type of breaking off of rock

# data[].attributes.body
a type of weathering in which the rocks break into smaller pieces but the chemical composition does not change

# data[].attributes.body
the breaking down of rocks and other materials on the Earth's surface
