Factors that affect rates of weathering (climate)?

Two key factors affect the rates of weathering rock type and climate. Climate: is the single, most important factor that affects the rate of weathering. Chemical reactions occurs faster at higher temperatures, Warm climates favor chemical weathering, cold climates favor mechanical weathering(principally freezing and thawing), more moisture, or precipitation present, the more noticeable weathering. 


Does chemical weathering affect rocks more in a temperate climate or in a desert climate?

Yes because chemical weathering occurs faster in desert climates. Rocks are us to chemical weathering and temperate climates get it but not as much.


How the rates of mechanical and chemical weathering might differ in the Congolese rain forest and the Siberian steppes?

The rates of mechanical weathering does not affect anything since the chemical properties remain unchanged. Only chemical weathering affects the chemical properties of an object.

How rocks are mechanically weatherd?

When rocks are broken down without any change to their chemical compositions it is mechanical weathering. Causes of mechanical weathering are Freezing and melting of water, Abrasion, when the rock is weather by an abrasive agent such as wind and sand, and exfoliation occurs when a rock is brought to the surface.


How does mechanical weathering affect the rate of chemical weathering?

Chemical weathering is when chemicals such as chemicals excreted from plants wear away at the earth's surface. Mechanical weathering is when natural forces wear away at the earth's surface such as rock.
