化學風化CHEMICAL WEATHERING Definition Chemical weathering is the decomposition or decay of rocks in situ due to the chemical reactions between rock minerals and air, moisture, rainwater, or seawater. Factors causing chemical weathering Humidity high humidity or abundant rainfall dissolves rock minerals and removes them in solution 濕度高或多雨水能溶解及帶走岩中礦物 Temperature high temperature speeds up the chemical reaction 高溫加速化學反應 Composition and structure of rocks rocks with many joints or soluble minerals are easily weathered 多節理或含可溶解礦物的岩石容易被風化 Organic acids These are released by decaying organic matter, e.g. decaying plants or animals. When in contact with rocks, these acids act on rock minerals and lead to chemical changes. Bare/expose/unvegetated surface When rock minerals come into contact with air or gases like oxygen, they are also weathered. The texture of Rocks Coarse-grained rocks are likely to weather more rapidly than fine-grained rock Slope aspect In cold but not generally frosty areas, south-facing slopes will face more sunshine, chemical weathering will be greater Human beings Cause large scale disintegration of rocks , e.g. deforestation 氧化作用 碳化作用 水解作用 水化作用 Types of chemical weathering Spheroidal weathering 球狀風化 also called onion-skin weathering or concentric weathering takes place in well-jointed and exposed rocks such as granite 活躍於多節理和露出地面的岩石，例如花崗岩 。 Tors突岩 (石塔) Honeycomb weathering蜂窩狀風化 Commonly found in rocks with different structure which contain soluble minerals 常見於構造不同而含有可解礦物的岩石 Also found in coastal rocks where sea water sprays onto rock surface 亦見於沿岸岩石，因海水濺灑於岩面上 Chemical Weathering ６Ａ　江鼎立 　　　廖世偉 　　　溫愷琦 　　　雷寶瑤 　　　徐玉靈 Processes of chemical weathering Rainwater falls on the ground and seeps into the joints of the rocks. 雨水滲入岩中裂縫和節理 Chemical processes occur. 化學過程開始 Rocks adjacent to the joints are weakened.節理旁的岩石被減弱 Those processes start on the land surface and along the joints and then work into the inner part. 化學風化過程先由表面開始，接著深入岩石內部。 In time,
