CHEMICAL WEATHERING.
Chemical weathering that involves water includes dissolution of soluble portions of rock, hydrolosis of minerals and rock to clay, and water acts as an agent in oxidation as well. Water often contains acids that attack minerals and rock and aid oxidation as well as dissolution.
In mechanical weathering water plays a role in frost wedging, but has no direct role in most other mechanical weathering processes.
