If acidic rainwater infiltrates granite bedrock, which consequence follows?

💡 Explanation

Chemical weathering causes mineral breakdown because the acidic rainwater reacts with the minerals in granite, such as feldspar, to form clay minerals and soluble salts; therefore, chemical weathering is the outcome, rather than mineral deposition.

• What causes thunderstorm intensification due to increased CAPE?
• What happens to the asthenosphere when increased heat flux emerges from mantle plume zones?
• If a coastal barrier island's vegetation is severely reduced by a hurricane, which consequence follows?
• What happens to sea level within a fjord when glacial meltwater discharge increases significantly?
• If a coastline has groynes installed perpendicular to the shore, which consequence follows for sediment distribution due to longshore drift?
• What happens to surface topography when soluble bedrock dissolves due to groundwater?
