The two correct examples of chemical weathering from the options provided are:
1. **Acid rain breaking down compounds and rocks** - This is a classic example of chemical weathering, as the acids in the rain can react with minerals in the rock, leading to decomposition.
2. **Oxidization of certain metals and rock** - Oxidation, such as the rusting of iron-bearing minerals, is another form of chemical weathering.
The other options provided do not involve chemical processes: an increase in temperature leading to cracking is more related to physical weathering (thermal expansion), an insect digging a hole is also a form of physical weathering, and rock breaking apart during a rock slide is a physical process as well.
