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.
Climates with lots of rain such as Tropical and subtropical.
Hot and wet climatic conditions are conducive for mechanical weathering.
It is more rapid in a tropical or high temperature climate.
Chemical weathering is most rapid in a hot, wet environment.

When mountains are worn away by weathering and the sediment is carried away, it is called erosion. This occurs over time. Rapid erosion is possible and is known to cause landslides.
The Earth's surface is always changing. It changes through slow processes and rapid processes. Some slow processes are weathering and erosion. Other changes are rapid processes, such as volcanic eruption, landslides and avalanches, and earthquakes.
Usually a cold climate is.
The climate that is the most conducive to rapid weathering are tropical climates. They will have the fastest rate of weathering.

YES!
Hot and wet climate.
In warm or wet climate
Erosion and weathering typically work over long periods of time, causing change slowly. However, with global warming and loss of native plants in many areas, erosion and weathering are happening at a more rapid rate.
