The correct response is **hydrolysis and oxidation**.
Hydrolysis involves the chemical reaction of minerals with water, leading to the breakdown of the minerals. Oxidation refers to the reaction of oxygen with minerals, particularly those containing iron, resulting in the formation of oxides and contributing to weathering processes.
