temperatures are generally cold at high elevations, ice wedging is more common at high elevations then at lower elevations. on steep slopes such as mountainsides weathered rock fragments are pulled down hill by gravity and washed out by heavy rains. as the rock slide down the mountain or are carried away by mountain streams rock smash against each other and break apart. as a result of the removal of these surface Rock's new surfaces of the mountain are continually exposed to weathering

How does surface area affect the weathering rates?
A great surface area is a factor which favors weathering.
How could climate affect rates of mechanical weathering What about chemical weathering How are the two kinds of weathering related?
You can look it up in Uranus
Which is not a factor that affects the rates of weathering in rocks?
There are not many factors which do not affect weathering in rocks.Two factors do not affect weathering are:Wind, sea and river erosion does not have any impact. No erosive processes cause weathering directly. Glaciers, however, may influence the climate of a region to the extent that more freeze-thaw weathering occursThe rock cycle does not affect weathering. This includes all actions and movements of rocks, though uplift and fault movement may cause more exposure to weathering, which may increase the rate of weathering
How could climate affect rates of mechanical weatheringWhat about t chemicals weathering how are the two kinds of weathering related?
A mixture with weathered rocks affects it. By the way, I have the same book. :) what book i want the damn thing lol :) jk im crzy lol :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
How does the rates of mechanical and chemical weathering might differ in the Congolese rainforest and the Siberian steppes?
Rates start at 69% and higher .

How does life affect geochemistry?
Rates of reactions -Redox -Acidification -Rock weathering -Enzymes
How the rates of mechanical and chemical weathering might different 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.

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.
Factors that affect rates of weathering (rock type)?
Two key factors affect the rates of weathering rock type and climate. Rock type: Minerals that dissolve easily weather faster, softer materials break apart more easily, porous minerals weather more easily.
Which two months had the highest rated of chemical weathering?
which two months had the highest rates of chemical weathering
Why did the engineers not consider the weathering rates of different rocks when they were building St Paul's Cathedral?
because they didn't now why the weather would affect the rocks. and they didn't now about this at the time
