Question 10 • *MHS - Earth Science - S1 - CR

Which process is responsible for changing the composition of rock?

Answer
A
erosion
B
abrasion
C
chemical weathering
D
mechanical weathering

Explanation

Chemical weathering changes the minerals or chemical makeup of rock through reactions with substances such as water, oxygen, or acids. Mechanical weathering breaks rock into smaller pieces without changing what it is made of, while erosion and abrasion move or wear down material. Therefore, chemical weathering is the process that changes rock composition.
