Weathering and Soils: Chemical Weathering

The video tutorial explains chemical weathering, highlighting how steam and water alter rocks through chemical processes. It details the formation of carbonic acid from rainwater and carbon dioxide, which breaks down rocks like calcite and limestone. The video also covers oxidation, where oxygen combines with iron to form rust. Finally, it discusses acid rain, formed from pollutants like sulfur dioxide, and its harmful effects on the environment and structures.

Describe the process of oxidation in relation to chemical weathering.
