Soil forms more quickly from limestone than from granite. This is due to the composition of limestone that speeds up soil formation.
A hot, wet climate
shale and sandstone
Warm and humid
greater precipitation in the summer

limestone
karst topography will contain mostly easily erodable bedrock, such as limestone and dolomite.
The type of climate that a limestone will weather more quickly i think will be a hot and dry climate.
A hot, wet climate
Chalk would weather fastest, followed by limestone.
shale and sandstone
Warm and humid
Limestone or dolostone, most likely, because of its chemical reactivity and dissolution by naturally acidic rainwater and groundwater.
greater precipitation in the summer

Limestone forms in such a way that there are often blocks, as there are cracks perpendicular to the strata. These cracks allow water to actually flow. When the water flows, it dissolves calcite from the limestone, making the crack more pronounced. Water can flow vertically and horizontally in this way. This, after many years, erodes large caverns in the rock.
