Answer:

Chemical weathering

Step-by-step explanation:

Chemical weathering is the process when rain chemicals react with rocks and minerals. In this process, the rocks are weakened. This chemical happening provokes the chemical reaction in the rock or in the mineral.

Chemical weathering is a spontaneous process and it leads to a more stable state for natural materials under a given set of conditions.
