Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In this process, water interacts with minerals to create various chemical reactions and transform the rocks. Chemical weathering is a gradual and ongoing process as the mineralogy of the rock adjusts to the near-surface environment. Secondary minerals develop from the original primary minerals of the rock.
Detailed explanation-2: -Soil erosion is a gradual process that occurs when the impact of water or wind detaches and removes soil particles, causing the soil to deteriorate. Soil deterioration and low water quality due to erosion and surface runoff have become severe problems worldwide.
Detailed explanation-3: -Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on Earth’s surface.
