rock breaking apart during a rock slide

Answer 1

The two correct examples of chemical weathering are:

1. Acid rain breaking down compounds in rock statues - This is a direct example of chemical weathering, as the acid in the rain reacts chemically with the minerals in the rock.

2. Oxidation of certain metals in rock - This is another process of chemical weathering where oxygen reacts with metals, leading to their breakdown.

The other options are examples of physical weathering or biological processes rather than chemical weathering.
