hydrolosis
wind
hydroloysis
@iGreen

Answer 1

I think you messed up with options B and D.

Answer 2

no thats the way it is :)

Answer 3

Oh, okay..nevermind.

Answer 4

so do you know what it is

Answer 5

@iGreen

Answer 6

Hold on

Answer 7

"Many rock surfaces have small crevices on them. Water can freeze in these crevices when it is cold, and then melt when the weather is warmer. This repeated freezing and thawing creates ice wedges, which can cause rocks to break."

Answer 8

so which one is it?

Answer 9

@iGreen

Answer 10

Which one has something to do with water?

Answer 11

Hydrolosis or Hydroloysis?

Answer 12

hydroloysis

Answer 13

@iGreen

Answer 14

Nvm, both of them do xD

Answer 15

so whats the final answer?

Answer 16

Read the 2nd paragraph here:

Chemical Weathering

Chemical weathering includes the effect of weathering on molecules and atoms. As with all chemistry, the greater the surface area of an object, the more chemical reactions can take place. For these chemical reactions to happen in nature, moisture, and heat must be present.

Reactions such as oxidation, hydrolysis, and acidification can happen when all of the elements are together. Oxidation makes rocks softer. It is similar to an iron bar rusting. Since there is a lot of iron in many rocks, oxidation often happens. Hydrolysis usually causes rocks to expand and then mechanical weathering can begin. These chemical reactions are happening all of the time. When you see rocks next to each other that are different colors (often shades of red) then you know chemical reactions have taken place.

Tell me which one you think is correct.

Answer 17

is it Hydrolysis

Answer 18

Correct!
