The two correct examples of chemical weathering are:

  1. Oxidation of certain metals in rock - This is a chemical change that alters the composition of the minerals within the rock.

  2. Acid rain breaking down compounds in rock statues - This process involves chemical reactions between the acid rain and the minerals in the stone, leading to deterioration.

The other options relate more to physical weathering or biological processes.
