This slowly, over time, erodes the rock. Any type of water flowing (in your case, raining) causes erosion. Heavy, intense rainstorms would erode it faster, but and type of rain fall WILL erode away rock.

Which substance has the greatest effect on the rate of weathering of rock?
wind, water and ice has the greatest effect on weathering of rock
What is mecanical weathering?
mechanical weathering is acid rain causing pieces of the rock to form together
What does not cause mechanical weathering?
A mechanical action would not cause chemical weathering of rock and soil. For example, using a handheld hammer or jackhammer against a stone or rock.
What is one factor that does not affect the rate of weathering of rocks?
The number of fossils found in the rock is a factor that does not have a great effect on the weathering of a rock.
What is the difference between weathering and?
weather is precipitation rain, hail, snow, ice,e.g. weathering is the wearing away of rock
What does not effect rock during weathering?
everything affects rock therefore heat, snow, rain, etc.
What effect does weathering have on igneous rock?
The effect of weathering is to reduce the volume of the igneous rock.
Which substance has the greatest effect on the rate of weathering of rock?
wind, water and ice has the greatest effect on weathering of rock
What DOES NOT cause weathering of rock?
acid rain
What are to kinds of weathering?
the types of weathering are physical and chemical. physical: like rain and ice breaking a rock. chemical: like acid rain breaking down a rock.
What is mecanical weathering?
mechanical weathering is acid rain causing pieces of the rock to form together
What does not cause mechanical weathering?
A mechanical action would not cause chemical weathering of rock and soil. For example, using a handheld hammer or jackhammer against a stone or rock.
How can nature change the rock cycle?
By weathering and erosion. The types of weathering used is:physical weathering- when a plant grows inside a rock and the roots break it apart; abrasion- mechanical weathering - erosion- and chemical weathering - acid rain, water weathering and erosion.
What are the effects of weathering rocks?
The general effect of weathering is the creation of smaller and smaller rock particles.
What is one factor that does not affect the rate of weathering of rocks?
The number of fossils found in the rock is a factor that does not have a great effect on the weathering of a rock.
What Examples of physical weathering and chemical weathering?
An example of Physical Weathering is plant wedging, where a plant finds its way into a rock and its roots wedge the rock apart. An example of Chemical Weathering is Acid Rain, where chemicals in the clouds caused by global warming rain down and dissolve rocks. Thousands of years of acid rain can result in discoloring and the breaking down of rocks.
What things causes a rock to erode?
Weathering, wind, rain, extreme temperatures.
