How has weathering affected Cleopatra's needle?
Most likely it would have been subjected to far more weathering; in paticular, a type ofphysical weathering called frost wedging. Cleopatra's needle is carved of granite and when exposed to constant freezing and thawing in severe climates such as most of Siberia experiences granite exhibits this type of weathering. Granite typically has small cracks and fissures or joints which can fill with water. Even though Siberia is relatively dry some water would be available to do this (over long periods of time especially). Water expands when it freezes which causes a wedging effect inside the crack and causes plates of rock to crack off. Over time this would most likely happen to Cleopatra's Needle in Siberia
Which agent of chemical weathering most likely forms in Florida limestone cavern?

Increase
What is likely to be most affected by weathering caused by wind?
a plateau in a desert with only a few plants growing on it
Which type of stone will most likely show the greatest amount of weathering?
i think its granite Above answer is wrong! Granite is VERY hard and weathers slowly. SANDSTONE is very soft and permeable and weathers (erodes) very quickly.
What type of chemical weathering is most likely to affect a rock containing calcite?
Dissolution from acidic rainfall.
