The process responsible for changing the composition of rock is **chemical weathering**. This process involves the alteration of the minerals in the rock through chemical reactions, which can change the rock's composition. Erosion and abrasion are primarily physical processes that involve the removal and wearing away of material, while mechanical weathering involves the physical breakdown of rocks without changing their chemical composition.
