Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The most important geological processes that lead to the creation of sedimentary rocks are erosion, weathering, dissolution, precipitation, and lithification. Erosion and weathering include the effects of wind and rain, which slowly break down large rocks into smaller ones.
Detailed explanation-3: -The most common feature that can be caused purely by chemical weathering is Karst Landscape, which can lead to caverns and sinkholes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Moisture speeds up chemical weathering. Weathering occurs fastest in hot, wet climates. It occurs very slowly in hot and dry climates.
