How can differential weathering help you determine weather a rock is harder or softer than the rock that surrounds it?

Differential weathering causes rocks of different hardness to weather at different rates. If a rock is softer than the surrounding rock, it will weather more quickly, resulting in differential erosion that highlights the contrast in hardness. Over time, this pattern can help in determining the relative hardness of the rocks.

What are the three main causes of weathering?

The three main causes of weathering are physical weathering (e.g. wind, water, and ice), chemical weathering (e.g. oxidation and hydrolysis), and biological weathering (e.g. plant roots and burrowing animals). These processes break down rocks and minerals into smaller particles over time.
