Mechanical weathering occurs at a greater rate in climates that are?
Cold and Wet
What increases the rate of chemical weathering of rock?
Chemical weathering can be increased if rainwater has is more acidic. Meaning it has a pH level higher than 5.5. Chemical weathering occurs quicker in warm and moist climates. :)
In what climate is the weathering rate slowest?
hot dry climates
What are the factors that control the rate of chemical weathering and those that control the rate of physical weathering?
Temperature is another significant factor in chemical weathering because it influences the rate at which chemical interactions occur. Chemical reactions rates increase as temperatures increases. With all other factors being equal, the rate of chemical weathering reactions doubles with each 10C increase in temperature.
Does the rate at which a rock undergoes chemical weathering increase or stay the same when the rock becomes more mechanically weathered why?
The rate will increase due to the increase in surface area available for attack by chemical weathering.
How weathering processes affected the development of an area?
The weathering process is affected by climatic conditions. Moist and warm climates favor chemical weathering, while moist, cold climates favor physical weathering. In dry climates, weathering is slow. Would you expect to find any chemical weathering on a rock from the moon? The rate of the weathering process is affected by particle size.

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.
Why does June and July have the highest rate of chemical weathering?
It has the highest rate of chemical weathering because chemical weathering occurs much faster in hot, humid climates. This makes rain forests a target for chemical weathering, and in hot seasons, the weathering skyrockets.

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.

How can climate rates affect chemical weathering?
Humidity and temperature are the keys to chemical weathering (and to answer a previous poster, chemical weathering is a natural process, though human activity can affect it. Chemical weathering needs water, to act as a solvent and to transport corrosive ions so chemical weathering in arid climates, and in arctic climates (where water is frozen, and so not available) have little if any chemical weathering. Chemical processes are also (mostly) accelerated by higher temperature so the high humidity and high temperature of the tropics is the place where chemical weathering predominates . Contribution of humic acids from soils is also important, and the high rate of growth of plants in tropical climates is also a factor. While the solution of Limestones by acidified water is the most commonly quoted example, many minerals break down chemically, feldspar breaking down to clay minerals would be another important example.
