The variables that most affect the weathering process are rock composition and what?
climate(:
How does the size of an exposed rock affect its rate of weathering?
it speeds up the weathering process
How does the size of an exposed rock affect its rate of weathering-?
When rocks are larger, the surface area is more exposed making the rate of weathering greater.
How do the amount of a rock's surface area affect its rate of weathering?
the speed get high

How do cracks affect weathering rates of rocks?
How do cracks affect the rate of weathering
What factors affect the rate weathering?
Some factors that affect the rate of weathering are the type of rock, the altitude and the climate.
How does the surface affect the rate of weathering?
more surface area= faster rate of weathering
How is surface related to weathering?
How does slope affect the rate of weathering
List several variables that affect the rate of weathering?
Several variables that affect the rate of weathering include temperature, precipitation, type of rock or mineral, vegetation cover, and human activities. Generally, higher temperatures and more rainfall can accelerate weathering processes, while certain types of rock or mineral are more susceptible to weathering than others. The presence or absence of vegetation cover can also influence the rate of weathering, as well as human activities that may introduce pollutants or alter natural processes.
How is surface area related to weathering?
Surface area is directly related to weathering because the greater the surface area of a rock exposed to the elements, the faster the weathering process occurs. This is because more area allows for increased access of water, air, and other agents of weathering to act on the rock, leading to its breakdown and erosion over time.
The variables that most affect the weathering process are rock composition and what?

How does the surface area of a rock affect the rate of weathering.?
The surface area of a rock has a big affect on the rate of weathering. The higher the surface area of the rock in proportion to its overall mass will result in a quicker rate of weathering of the rock.
