Topsoil
what feature would be more effected by weathering
chemical weathering
a rock would have a lower rate of weathering when it has more surface area exposed to weathering.
Both chemical and mechanical weathering breakdown a rock into particles, just in diffrent ways. Mechanical weathering is the physical weathering in which a rock is broken down into particles. Chemical weathering is the weathering in which rocks are disolved, decomposed , or loosend to change the minerals in the rock.
The weathering process is affected by climatic conditions. Moist and warm climates favor chemical weathering, while moist, cold climates favor physical weathering. In dry climates, weathering is slow. Would you expect to find any chemical weathering on a rock from the moon? The rate of the weathering process is affected by particle size.
