Which statement correctly describes how hydrolysis causes chemical weathering?(1 point)
Responses
Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction that occurs when water reacts with minerals in rocks, breaking them down and forming new substances. This process can cause chemical weathering by weakening the structure of the rock and making it more susceptible to erosion.
Does it produce clay or carbonic acid
Hydrolysis primarily produces clay minerals through the chemical reactions between water and certain minerals in rocks. However, it does not directly produce carbonic acid. Carbonic acid can be produced through the reaction of carbon dioxide (CO2) with water, which can then contribute to chemical weathering processes.
