Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dissolution is the process of chemical weathering where the minerals in a rock are dissolved and carried away by water, such as in the process of carbonation where rainwater reacts with limestone to form calcium bicarbonate, which is then carried away by water. Exfoliation, salt weathering, and physical weathering are examples of mechanical or physical weathering, not dissolution.
