Acid acts as a catalyst, causing water-releated weathering to happen more quickly. This is why acid rain is so potentially harmful. Pollutants in the air mix with water in rain giving the rain an acidic quality, which speeds up weathering.
The most important factors that determine the rate at which weathering occurs are the type of rock and the climate. Rainfall affects the rate of weathering.
Some factors that affect the rate of weathering are the type of rock, the altitude and the climate.
more surface area= faster rate of weathering
How does slope affect the rate of weathering
I dont know :d !!

The surface area of a rock has a big affect on the rate of weathering. The higher the surface area of the rock in proportion to its overall mass will result in a quicker rate of weathering of the rock.

Increases it.

Air pollution, especially sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, can accelerate weathering by contributing to acid rain. Acid rain increases the acidity of rainwater, which can enhance the breakdown of minerals in rocks and increase the rate of chemical weathering. This can lead to the erosion and degradation of structures and landscapes.
Factors that affect the rate of mechanical weathering include temperature fluctuations, presence of water, wind intensity, type of rock or mineral composition, and presence of vegetation or organisms that can contribute to physical breakdown of rocks.
