Does a cold climate help mechanical weathering?

Answer 1

No. mechanical weathering is the breaking and separating of rock or other materials.

In order for mechanical weathering to occur you need water or some kind of mass movement.

the only erosional agent which works with mechanical weathering are creep and solifluction, but mechanical weathering itself cannot happen because if it is too cold the frost wedging cannot happen becasue the water would freeze in contact and would not expand

Answer 2

it can effect it you want to know why well this is how Heat - chemical reactions are faster with more heat

Rain - the wetter it is the more chemical weathering can occur

Answer 3

They take place in cold, wet climates

Answer 4

YES!
