Detailed explanation-1: -Climate variables including temperature, rainfall intensity, rainfall acidity, and lithological properties are among the most important factors affecting rock weathering.
Detailed explanation-2: -Rainfall and temperature can affect the rate in which rocks weather. High temperatures and greater rainfall increase the rate of chemical weathering. 2. Rocks in tropical regions exposed to abundant rainfall and hot temperatures weather much faster than similar rocks residing in cold, dry regions.
Detailed explanation-3: -Factors that affect weathering are : 1. Local climate 2. Mineral composition 3. Structure of rock 4.
Detailed explanation-4: -Temperature and Water The rate of chemical weathering happens faster in warm, humid climates. Water also increases the rate of mechanical weathering. Temperature is another major factor in mechanical weathering. The more often temperatures cause freezing and thawing, the more often ice wedging takes place.
Detailed explanation-5: -Factors that affect the Rate of Weathering. Relief. Humans. Climate. Aspect. Vegitation. Geography. Type of Rock can affect the rate it weathers. More items
