Which weathering process produces kaolin from granite?

Step 1: Analyze Question 24. Question 24 asks about the weathering process that produces kaolin from granite. Kaolin is a clay mineral formed from the chemical breakdown of feldspar, a common mineral in granite. This process involves water reacting with the minerals, which is known as hydrolysis. A Carbonation: Reaction with carbonic acid, primarily affects carbonates. B Oxidation: Reaction with oxygen, affects iron-bearing minerals. C Hydration: Absorption of water into mineral structure without chemical change. D Hydrolysis: Chemical reaction with water, breaking down minerals like feldspar into clay minerals. The correct answer is D. Step 2: Analyze Question 25. Question 25 asks which urban
