Weathering is a NATURAL process that would occur without humans on the planet. However, human activities, particularly the dumping of acidic gases (Carbon Dioxide and Sulfur Dioxide made as a byproduct of industry) into the atmosphere causes rainwater to become more acid than it would be if humans were not doing this. This acid rainwater speeds up the rate of weathering, particularly of limestone rocks.
