The effect of chemical weathering via acidic rainfall generally affects but is not limited to those rocks containing calcium or calcium carbonate, such as limestone and marble.

Chemical weathering would be most effective in what climate?
Chemical weathering is the most effective in hot and dry climates. This is because this climate accelerates and intensifies the chemical weathering.
Chemical weathering processes are particularly effective on limestone landscapes forming?
Chemical weathering processes are particularly effective on limestone landscapes forming because of carbonation. When rainwater combines with acid in the air, limestone is formed.
The single most effective agent of chemical weathering at Earth's surface?
Carbonic Acid
What starts chemical weathering?
What starts chemical weathering?Oxidation starts chemical weathering.
What type of weathering creates caves or caverns?
Chemical Weathering .
What would chemical weathering be most effective in?
Chemical weathering is the most effective in hot and dry climates. This is because this climate accelerates and intensifies the chemical weathering.

How does physical weathering cause chemical weathering to be more effective?
by helping each other by breaking down the minerals
What starts chemical weathering?
What starts chemical weathering?Oxidation starts chemical weathering.
How are weathering and chemical weathering related?
mechanical weathering and chemical weathering are related because their both are types of weathering
Are stalactites a form chemical weathering?
Stalactites are a result of the processes of chemical weathering, not a form of chemical weathering.
What type of weathering creates caves or caverns?
Chemical Weathering .
What is the process that breaks down rocks chemically?
It's called chemical weathering. Think acid rain.
Is acid chemical weathering or mechanical weathering?
chemical
What is aonther word for chemical weathering?
chemical weathering
