Question 9 • Earth and Space Science

Which location shows an example of weathering that changes a rock’s chemical properties?

Answer
A
desert canyon
B
mountain pass
C
forest trail
D
limestone cave

Explanation

A limestone cave can form when slightly acidic water dissolves limestone, changing the rock’s chemical composition. This is chemical weathering. A desert canyon, mountain pass, or forest trail may show erosion or physical weathering, but the limestone cave is the clearest example of chemical change.
