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.
