Mechanical weathering or erosion is more rapid in what type of climate?
There are many types of mechanical weathering, some due to climatic conditions, some not. Excluding non-climatic causes, mechanical weathering such as plant root growth, would be assisted by tropical conditions which encourage plant growth and root hydraulics. In desert regions, weathering is more rapid under conditions of high wind, which causes abrasion of rock surfaces. In areas that experience hot/cold alternating temperatures, frost wedging and thermal stress will contribute to rapid mechanical weathering. The type of rock being exposed to agents of mechanical weathering would also play a part in the speed at which the weathering takes place, as some rock varieties are more easily mechanically weathered than others.

A warm, damp(moist),place with tropical weather

Is Mechanical weathering is more rapid in warm wet climates.?
YES!
What climate is the most conducive to rapid weathering?
The climate that is the most conducive to rapid weathering are tropical climates. They will have the fastest rate of weathering.
What kind of weathering is more rapid in a warm wet climate?
chemical weathering
Chemical weathering will be most rapid in?
The Tropics.
Rapid chemical weathering can be caused by?
Rapid chemical weathering can be caused by acid rain. It is a type of rainfall that is made acidic due to atmospheric pollution.
Which climate produce the most rapid chemical weathering of rock?
hot and dry
Where do you find chemical weathering more rapid?
In warm or wet climate
What part of a rock does weathering attack most rapidly?
The most rapid weathering occurs at the sharp edges and corners of rock.
What is downward rapid movement of rocks resulting in mass wasting?
uhhh i think its weathering??
Which climate condition produces the most rapid chemical weathering?
Hot and wet climate.
