d. water freezing and thawing to widen cracks in rock

Answer 2

are you sure?

Answer 3

I apologize for the confusion. The correct answer is a. water depositing beach sand. Chemical weathering refers to the process in which the chemical composition of rocks and minerals is altered by chemical reactions with water, air, or other substances. This process does not involve physical actions like cutting, carving, or freezing and thawing.

Answer 4

are you certain?

Answer 5

I apologize again for the confusion. Upon reviewing my response, I made a mistake. The correct answer is actually c. water carving out a limestone cave. Chemical weathering can occur through various processes, including the dissolution of minerals in water. In the case of limestone, which is composed primarily of calcium carbonate, water can react with the mineral, causing it to dissolve and carve out caverns and caves over time. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, and I apologize for any confusion caused.
