If you do a chalk experiment, you will find out that increasing the surface area speeds the rate of weathering. The reaction/weathering will happen quicker. Most people are doing this in science. Your welcome
A great surface area is a factor which favors weathering.
more surface area= faster rate of weathering
more surface area= faster rate of weathering
it doesnt
No, because the weathering makes it hotter
How does slope affect the rate of weathering
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.

How does slope affect the rate of weathering
Mechanical weathering increases the surface area that can be attacked by chemical weathering.
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.
It would increase the rate of chemical weathering due to the increase in surface area that becomes available to attack from chemical reactions.
