Erosión química

La erosión química es la pérdida de masa de un material a causa de reacciones químicas. Una forma común de erosión química en materiales geológicos es la disolución de elementos en aguas.^[1]^[2] La erosión química de silicatos contribuye a la secuestración de CO₂ de la atmósfera.^[3] Se estima que la erosión química de rocas y minerales ha ido aumentado a lo largo del Cenozoico debido al alzamiento de montañas.^[4]
