Answer:

Types of chemical weathering

1. Hydrolysis

2. Oxidation

3. Carbonation

4. Acid rain

5. Acids produced by lichens

Step-by-step explanation:

Chemical weathering occurs when rocks undergo chemical reactions to form new minerals.

Hydrolysis : is when water dissolves minerals present in rocks forming new compounds.

Oxidation : is when oxygen reacts with rocks eg. rust formation

Carbonation : it uses an acid known as carbonic acid, it is important in the formation of many caves and sinkholes.
