← GeographyWhich process contributes to hydrolysis during chemical weathering?
A)Water molecule splitting compounds✓
B)Halite deposition in arid climates
C)Carbonate dissolution rates decrease
D)Lichen secreting humic acid
💡 Explanation
Hydrolysis facilitates weathering because water molecules react with rock minerals, causing them to break down rather than through arid deposition. This process, called hydration, weakens the crystal structure therefore causing decomposition.
