Answer 1

The action that can help slow down the process of chemical weathering is "using less water in industrial areas."

Chemical weathering often involves the interaction of water with minerals in rocks, leading to their breakdown. Reducing water usage can limit the extent to which this process occurs, especially in areas where industrial activities contribute to increased water runoff and chemical reactions.
