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.
What are the factors that affect the rate of rock weathering?
Cracks and mineral composition of rocks affet the rate weathering. Smaller rocks with more available surface area weather more rapidly. Rocks with calcium carbonates weather more rapidly than rocks made of granite......:-)
What factors affect the rate of mechanical weathering?
factors that affect the rate of mechanical weathering?
Which is not a factor that affects the rate in weathering rocks?
There are not many factors which do not affect weathering in rocks.Two factors do not affect weathering are:Wind, sea and river erosion does not have any impact. No erosive processes cause weathering directly. Glaciers, however, may influence the climate of a region to the extent that more freeze-thaw weathering occursThe rock cycle does not affect weathering. This includes all actions and movements of rocks, though uplift and fault movement may cause more exposure to weathering, which may increase the rate of weathering
How does physical weathering affect rocks?
The rocks will into pieces.
How do cracks affect weathering rates of rocks?
How do cracks affect the rate of weathering

What is one factor that does not affect the rate of weathering of rocks?
The number of fossils found in the rock is a factor that does not have a great effect on the weathering of a rock.
How do physical weathering and chemical weathering affect rocks in the same way.?
Physical weathering and chemical weathering both break down rocks.
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 freezing water affect the weathering of rocks on a mountain's pinnacle?
Freezing water can affect the weathering of rocks on a mountain's pinnacle because the frozen water will expand within the cracks of the rocks of the mountain's pinnacle. The ice accumulations will also grow larger which will also affect the weathering of the rocks.
How does the surface affect the rate of weathering?
more surface area= faster rate of weathering
