No.
Lack of rain prevents chemical erosion in a dessert.
No. It makes more surface available for chemical weathering, actually speeding up the weathering process.
chemical weathering
Yes because chemical weathering occurs faster in desert climates. Rocks are us to chemical weathering and temperate climates get it but not as much.
Mechanical weathering breaks down the rock into smaller pieces, exposing more surface area. This allows the acid and chemicals to break down the pieces of rock faster.
Chemical weathering requires water to speed it up. Since there is little water in the desert, it is a slow process compared to weathering in more humid areas.
dry areas.that is mainly in desert areas.
Physical weathering breaks big rocks into little rocks and increases the surface area exposed to chemical agents, such as carbonic acid. The more the surface area, the faster the weathering.

why does chemical weathering happen?
Quartz is a mineral that is highly resistant to chemical weathering. Marble is a mineral that is more susceptible to chemical weathering.
No. It makes more surface available for chemical weathering, actually speeding up the weathering process.
Chemical weathering occurs more rapidly in warm, wet climates, and mechanical weathering occurs more in cold climates.
Because chemical reactions happen quicker in an increases temperature. So the more chemical reactions, the more chemical weathering
Physical weathering, such as cracks, creates more surface area for chemical weathering to occur on.
Mechanical weathering increases the surface area that can be attacked by chemical weathering.
Chemical weathering occurs more rapidly in a hot, wet climate because chemical reactions speed up with increased temperature.
