The action that describes chemical weathering is water carving out a limestone cave. This process involves the chemical reaction of water (often acidic) with limestone (calcium carbonate), leading to the dissolution of the rock and the formation of caves.

The other options pertain to physical weathering or erosion processes rather than chemical weathering.
