A Correct answer
Explanation

Chemical weathering requires both moisture and heat to proceed effectively. Water acts as a solvent and medium for chemical reactions, while higher temperatures increase the kinetic energy of molecules, accelerating reaction rates. Hot and humid conditions provide both, making them ideal for chemical weathering processes.
