    Which process takes place when large rocks crumble due to oxidation?

    A) Erosion

    B) Deposition

    C) physical weathering

    D) chemical weathering

    The correct option is D

    Explanation:

    Weathering can simply be defined as the breakdown of the top surface of rocks. From this definition, it can be deduced that the question describes a type of weathering. Weathering can be of two types; Physical weathering and chemical weathering.

    Physical weathering is caused by physical components of the environment such as temperature, water and some activities of living organisms. Physical weathering does not alter the chemical composition of the rock. A chemical weathering is caused by a reaction between the components of the rock and another substance. This type of weathering involves a chemical reaction (for example oxidation) which leads to the breakdown of the rock.
