What factors affect the rate of mechanical weathering?
factors that affect the rate of mechanical weathering?
How does the surface area and climate affect the rate of weathering?
The rate if weathering in a rock is determined by surface area, temperature, moisture and chemical composition. Surface area effects the rate because weathering occurs on the surface of the rock; therefore a whole rock will weather slower than that same rock in fragments. Temperature and moisture (climate) effect the rate, because weathering is both chemical reactions (hydrolysis, etc) involving water, who's speed is controlled by how warm the system is, and by physical weathering, often involving water (freeze-that etc). The chemical composition is in reference to how stable the rock is in s given environment, and is indicated by Bowman's Reaction Series.
What would you expect to happen if you moved a marble statue from a hot wet climate to a cool dry climate?
the rate of chemical weathering would slow down
What type of climate will have the fastest rate of weathering?
a moist dry climate
What factors affect the rate weathering?
Some factors that affect the rate of weathering are the type of rock, the altitude and the climate.
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.
What are 2 factors that affect the rate of 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.

What effect would a warmer climate have on the rate of chemical weathering?
The rate would increase, assuming similar rate of precipitation.

How does the climate affect the rate of weathering?
Extreme weather (extra wind and rain) will speed up the rate of weathering.
What climate is the most conducive to rapid weathering?
The climate that is the most conducive to rapid weathering are tropical climates. They will have the fastest rate of weathering.
