Want this question answered?
Erosion rates depend on the composition of the rocks and how they are attacked by the environment.Different kinds of rocks have different composition and will erode at different rates.Rocks in different places will be affected differently by wind, water, ice, rain, pollutants, etc. and so they will erode at different rates.
By the same process used to make any other sedimentary rock. The original rock will break down through weathering into small particles, erode to a place of deposition, undergo compaction and cementation, creating a new sedimentary rock.

no, in rain water there are basic acids (collected in the atmosphere naturally and pollution) that erode diffrent material faster than if wind was hiting the same object, it depends on the materials environment

Since you can find the same distinctive rock strata in both the east coast of South America and the west coast of Africa, it suggests that those two coasts were once connected.

No; in fact the rate of erosion not only varies from river to river, it depends on the type of rock the river flows over, the rate of flow and the season.
No, it does not effect all rocks the same. It depends on the type of rock and the acid level in the rain.
Steep Hill Erodes Faster. The Water Picks Up Speed And More Energy To Wear Away The Earth. Generally, hills will be steep because they are made of resistant rock; whereas gentle hills will have that shape because they are made of rock that is easily eroded. Hence steep hills will not necessarily erode faster than gentle ones. However, if a hill is steep because it has recently been formed by tectonic activity, and it comprises soft rock, it will erode faster than a more gentle hill of the same material.

Yes
The same places as volcanoes, on the coasts of countries and near plates
my mum
it keeps on flowing around igneous rock and metamorphic rock and also sedimentary rock
They both have Atlantic coasts, so they are the same distance.
