more surface area= faster rate of weathering
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.

When rocks are larger, the surface area is more exposed making the rate of weathering greater.
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

factors that affect the rate of mechanical weathering?
The rate of weathering also depends on the surface area that is exposed. Mechanical weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces. As the pieces get smaller, their surface area increases. When this happens, there is more total surface area available for chemical weathering. The result is that weathering has more of an effort on smaller particles.
