What is chemical intemperism?

Chemical intemperism is characterized by chemical transformations resulting from differences in pressure and temperature of rocks.
When rock formations emerge, they encounter conditions and elements such as water and oxygen that make their minerals chemically unstable.
To stabilize, they undergo chemical transformations, thus altering their composition.
In these cases, it is possible to observe the modification of soils or rocks, when they change their appearance or composition, becoming more humid or drier, for example.

Chemical intemperism, also known as chemical weathering, refers to the process of chemical transformations that occur in rocks due to exposure to different pressures, temperatures, and chemical agents. When rocks are exposed to elements such as water and oxygen, their minerals become chemically unstable. As a result, the rocks undergo chemical reactions and transformations, leading to changes in their composition. This can be observed in the modification of soils or rocks, where they may change in appearance or composition, becoming more humid or drier, for example. Chemical intemperism plays a significant role in the breakdown and alteration of rocks over time.
