Quarrying is not a form of chemical weathering. Chemical weathering refers to the breakdown of rocks and minerals through chemical reactions, such as dissolution, oxidation, and hydrolysis, which alter the composition of the rocks over time.
Quarrying, on the other hand, is a human activity that involves the extraction of rock or minerals from the earth’s surface for use in construction, manufacturing, or other purposes. While quarrying can involve physical processes that break apart rocks, it is not considered a form of natural weathering like chemical weathering.
