The action that describes chemical weathering is:

water carving out a limestone cave

This process involves the chemical reaction between water (which may be slightly acidic) and limestone (calcium carbonate), leading to the dissolution of the rock and the formation of caves.

The other options describe physical weathering or sediment transport rather than chemical weathering.
