Question

Which is a result of chemical weathering? a rock that has been split into two parts a rock that has lost its outer layers a rock that has changed into one or more new compounds a rock that has been broken into tiny, similar pieces

Answer 1

A rock that has split into two would be chemical weathering because if the rock is broken by a tree root, ice, and water that would be chemical weathering. So the Answer is A.

Answer 2

What is the result of chemical weathering in a rock?

Step-by-step explanation

Chemical weathering changes the molecular structure of rocks and soil. For instance, carbon dioxide from the air or soil sometimes combines with water in a process called carbonation. This produces a weak acid, called carbonic acid, that can dissolve rock. Carbonic acid is especially effective at dissolving limestone.
