Which of the followings is not a process of chemical weathering?
- A. Frost action
- B. Carbonation
- C. Hydrolysis
- D. Oxidation
Correct Answer: A. Frost action
Explanation
Chemical weathering involves the process of rock decomposition due to chemical reactions. The processes include carbonation, hydrolysis, and oxidation. Frost action, on the other hand, is a form of physical weathering where water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, and expands, causing the rock to break apart. Therefore, frost action is not a process of chemical weathering.
