The two chemical weathering processes that rely primarily on water are:
1. Hydrolysis
2. Dissolution
These processes involve reactions between minerals and water, leading to the breakdown and alteration of rocks. Oxidation can occur in the presence of water, but it does not rely primarily on water like hydrolysis and dissolution do. Precipitation refers to the formation of solid deposits from a solution and is not a weathering process in itself.
