  12. Oxidation: Oxygen reacts with iron in minerals to form iron oxide minerals (eg.hematite, rust)

  13. Hydrolysis: Rain made up of Water and Carbon Dioxide form a week carbonic acid to erode surface structures. Sometimes the mixture of water and material create a clay like substance.

  14. The End
