The two correct answers that rely primarily on water are:
1. **Dissolution** - This process involves the dissolving of minerals in water, such as the dissolution of limestone by carbonic acid in rainwater.
2. **Hydrolysis** - This process involves the chemical reaction between water and minerals, leading to the formation of new minerals and the alteration of existing ones, such as the transformation of feldspar into clay minerals.
Precipitation and oxidation are not primarily reliant on water in the same way.
