    In which of the following regions the chemical weathering process is more dominant than the physical weathering process?

    Limestone region

    Correct Answer

    Humid region

    Incorrect Answer

    Arid region

    Incorrect Answer

    Glacier region

    Incorrect Answer
    Explanation:

    Limestone regions are marked by landforms like sinkholes, swallow holes, underground caves etc. which are an outcome of “Solution”. The calcium carbonate in limestone dissolves under the chemical impact of carbonic acid (formed by mixing of rain water with atmospheric carbon dioxide).
    Arid regions are primarily marked by mechanical weathering by wind action
    Glacier regions are also marked by physical weathering features like cirques, pyramidal peaks, moraines etc.
    Humid regions exhibit both physical (like wetting and drying) and chemical weathering (like oxidation) but physical weathering dominates.
