What type of rock suffers from weathering most quickly?
that would be ether sand stone or lime stone Cheers Gym_
How does the surface area of a rock affect the rate of its weathering?
Of two rocks with the same composition, texture and porosity, there are multiple factors affecting their rate of weathering. Generally speaking, however, smaller rocks would tend to be mechanically weathered more quickly because they are more prone to transportation by the agents of erosion. This transportation by wind, water and ice exposes the smaller rock to more abrasion and fracture which quickens its rate of weathering. Chemical weathering also occurs more quickly in the smaller rock, as the rate of chemical weathering is directly related to the relationship of surface area to a rock's volume. The higher the surface area in proportion to mass, the quicker the rate of weathering; thus the smaller rock would weather faster.
What type of weathering would sanding a rough board to make shelves be?
chemical weathering
When does a rock have lower rate of weathering?
a rock would have a lower rate of weathering when it has more surface area exposed to weathering.
Are weathering and erosion the same process?
Both chemical and mechanical weathering breakdown a rock into particles, just in diffrent ways. Mechanical weathering is the physical weathering in which a rock is broken down into particles. Chemical weathering is the weathering in which rocks are disolved, decomposed , or loosend to change the minerals in the rock.
What would you do to a building to prevent it from weathering too quickly?
paint it
Which would dissolved more quickly chemical or mechanical weathering?
mechanical

In what locations would you expect to find chemical weathering instead of mechanical weathering?
Chemical weathering is prevalent in tropical climates.

a rock would have a lower rate of weathering when it has more surface area exposed to weathering.
How can I find a bathroom remodeler who will work quickly?
The wall caved next to our shower. How would I go about finding bathroom remodelers that would be able to get to job quickly because we need to prevent more water damage?
Does the Atacama Desert experience physical weathering or chemical weathering?
Since it rarely rains in the Atacama, nearly all weathering would be physical weathering caused by the wind.
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
What does weathering produce that is essential to life on earth?
Why is weathering important to life on land?
When you add acid limestone marble and chalk they all reacted quickly. why would buildings from these materials not react quickly?
is it because they can react for the building because they are not the right rocks to use for buildings
