The correct statement that describes how hydrolysis causes chemical weathering is:
Water reacts with minerals in rocks to produce clay, weakening the rock.
Hydrolysis is a chemical weathering process where water reacts with minerals in rock, leading to the transformation of those minerals into clay minerals and other ions, which can weaken the rock structure.
