Chemical weathering would be most effective in what climate?
Chemical weathering is the most effective in hot and dry climates. This is because this climate accelerates and intensifies the chemical weathering.
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.
What is the most important factor that affects the rate of weathering?
climate
What type of climate does the greatest amount of chemical weathering of rock occur?
Hot, wet, tropical climates are most conducive to chemical weathering.
The variables that most affect the weathering process are rock composition and what?
climate(:
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.

Chemical weathering will be most rapid in?
The Tropics.
Chemical weathering would be most effective in what climate?
Chemical weathering is the most effective in hot and dry climates. This is because this climate accelerates and intensifies the chemical weathering.
What type of climate is chemical weathering most active in?
warm, humid climate
What two climate factors are most important in the weathering process?
Climate & Moisture
What type of climate is chemical weathering most active?
warm, humid 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 would chemical weathering be most effective in?
Chemical weathering is the most effective in hot and dry climates. This is because this climate accelerates and intensifies the chemical weathering.
When is chemical weathering most active?
In a warm humid climate
