Dissolution
The process wherein water-soluble compounds in an oil dissolves into the surrounding water. This depends on the composition and state of the oil, and occurs most quickly when the oil is finely dispersed in the water column.

Acid: A corrosive solution with a pH less than 7.
Acid Aerosol: Acidic liquid or solid particles small enough to become airborne. High concentrations can irritate the lungs and have been associated with respiratory diseases like asthma.
The solution is not to stop development, but rather to use energy more efficiently and to invest in new technologies for alternative energy development, such as wind and solar powered options.
The wearing away of the land surface by running water, waves, or moving ice and wind, or by such processes as mass wasting and corrosion (solution and other chemical processes).
Distillation: The separation of different substances in a solution by boiling off those of low boiling point first. For example, water can be distilled and the steam condensed back into a liquid that is almost pure water.
