qThe precipitation process in the atmosphere dissolve and remove CO2 from the atmosphere.
qRocks exposed at Earth’s surface undergo chemical attack from this rain of dilute acid.
qThis whole process is known as chemical
weathering.
qThe rate of chemical weathering tend to increase as temperature
increases.
qWeathering requires water as a medium both for the dissolution of minerals and for the transport of
the dissolved materials to the ocean
q č The rate of chemical weathering increases as precipitation
increases.
