B. Chemical weathering ... Marble tombstones and carvings are particularly susceptible to chemical weathering by dissolution. Note that the urn and tops of ledges are heavily weathered, but the inscriptions are somewhat sheltered and remain legible.

The interlocking and spacing of mineral grains controls the tendency towards weathering. Rocks with loosely interlocking mineral grains allow agents of chemical weathering to penetrate, thus speeding their decomposition.

Most rocks exposed at the earth's surface are not chemically stable and are constantly undergoing the process of breakdown known as weathering, a process that involves both mechanical disintegration (physical weathering) and chemical decomposition (chemical weathering).

Weathering is the decomposition of Earth's rocks, soils and minerals through direct contact with the planet's atmosphere. Weathering occurs in situ , or "with no movement", and thus should not be c...

Nearly all weathering involves water, mostly directly: frost shattering, wetting and drying, salt weathering, and all chemical weathering is in solution. That is, weathering is climatically driven and thus the term weathering.

Chemical weathering - process by which the internal structure of a mineral is altered by the addition or removal of elements. Change in phase (mineral type) and composition are due to the action of chemical agents.

Chemical weathering takes place in almost all types of rocks. Smaller rocks are more susceptible however, because they have a greater amount of surface area. ... This is because water is important to many of the chemical reactions that can take place. Warmer temperatures are also more friendly to chemical weathering.
