प्रश्न
Distinguish between the following pair
Hydration and solution
उत्तर
Hydration :
This occurs when water itself chemically combines with some minerals present in rocks. Thus, crystalline minerals, such as feldspar and potash, absorb water and become a powdery mass due to the process of hydration, resulting in their erosion.
Solution :
This is the simplest form of chemical weathering by which some minerals dissolve in water when rainwater falls on rocks or when river water flows over rocks. The soluble minerals dissolve and are removed, . resulting in the breakup of the rocks.
