Name two rock characteristics and two climatic factors that affect the rate of weathering?
Rock chemistry, and size. Temperature and wind.
What is two factors that affect the rate of weathering?
texture and composition (hope u get it correct)
How could climate affect rates of mechanical weathering What about chemical weathering How are the two kinds of weathering related?
You can look it up in Uranus
What are the two factors that determine the rate of weathering?
climate and type of rock.
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 are 2 factors that affect the rate of weathering?
The most important factors that determine the rate at which weathering occurs are the type of rock and the climate. Rainfall affects the rate of weathering.
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.

What are two hormones that affect metabolic rate?
The two thyroid hormones thet affects the metabolic rate are Thyroxine & Triiodothyronine.
Name two ways in which water may increase the rate of weathering?
Weathering is the breaking down of rocks, soil andminerals as well as artificial materials through contact with the Earth's atmosphere, biota and waters. Weathering occurs in situ, or "with no movement", and thus should not be confused with erosion, which involves the movement of rocks and minerals by agents such as water, ice, snow, wind, waves and gravity.
What two nerves affect the rate of the heartbeat?
Vagus and accelerator
