    Chemical weathering occurs when water decomposes rocks. Honeycomb weathering (coastal rocks, uneven mineral structure) Spheroidal weathering (abundant precipitation, well-jointed spheres) occurs when there is abundant precipitation.

    Essential Geography: Chemical Weathering Types of Chemical Weathering: -Hydrolysis (Hydrogen in water decomposes rocks) -Hydration (Rocks absorb

    water and are weakened by it) -Oxidation (Rocks react with oxygen in air) -Solution (Rocks are dissolved by solvents and weakened) -Carbonation (Rocks are attacked by carbonic acid) Forms of Chemical Weathering: -Honeycomb weathering (coastal rocks, uneven mineral structure) -Spheroidal weathering (abundant precipitation, well-jointed bedrock)
