- Oxidation isa another kind of chemical
weathering that occurs whenoxygen combines
with another substance and creates compounds
called oxides.
4. - An oxide is a chemical compound that contains
at least one oxygen atom and one other element
in its chemical formula.
- Oxidation ischaracterized by red, orange, and
yellow stainsthat look like rust.
5. Process of Oxidation:
-Oxidation occurs when oxygen and
water react with iron rich
materials and it weakens
the structure of metal.
-During oxidation the minerals in the
rock will change color, turning into a
'rusty', reddish orange appearance.
7. DISADVANTAGES OF OXIDATION
1
-it causesrusting of Iron and Corrosion of
some metals.
2 -It also causesweakensof metals or iron
materials
