Detailed explanation-1: -High temperatures and greater rainfall increase the rate of chemical weathering. 2. Rocks in tropical regions exposed to abundant rainfall and hot temperatures weather much faster than similar rocks residing in cold, dry regions.
Detailed explanation-2: -The most common feature that can be caused purely by chemical weathering is Karst Landscape, which can lead to caverns and sinkholes.
Detailed explanation-3: -SINKHOLE. A sinkhole is also known as a “wallet snake hole” and is a natural hole on the Earth’s surface. This hazard is caused by the chemical dissolution process in sandstone or the chemical dissolution of carbonate rocks that causes erosion of the soil beneath the ground.
Detailed explanation-4: -Horizon C is least affected by the soil formation process. Bedrock lies below the soil layers. Horizon O forms from organic material. Horizon C is least affected by the soil formation process.
