Why does limestone erode quickly?
It depends on: - the strength of the acid - concentration of the acid - temperature of the solution - stirring of the solution - granulation of the lime
A sedimentray rock composed of what would weather at a faster rate?
Chalk would weather fastest, followed by limestone.
What type of climate would result in faster mechanical weathering?
A humid climate would weather mechanics quickly. Also, in humid climates (i.e. Africa) there is also rain season which may help to weather mechanics even faster.
How would separate the fine salt and coarse salt?

What type of crystal grain forms when molten rocks cool slowly?
Quartz
Which would weather faster a fine grained or a coarse grained igneous rock?
fine grained rock will weaher faster thatn the course grained rock
Is limestone coarse grained or fine grained?
Fine grained rock exhibits a non-visible or nearly non-visible crystalline structure on a fractured surface. On the opposite end, a coarse grained rock exhibits mineral crystals of the rock's constituents on a fractured surface. The larger the crystals, the coarser grained is the rock. Basalt would be an example of a fine grained rock. Granite would be an example of a coarse grained rock.
How long it will take coarse grained rock to become fine grained rock?
The period of time involved in the rock cycle which would involve the transformation of a coarse grained rock into weathered, eroded, transported, deposited, and cemented fine-grained sedimentary particles would vary greatly. Suffice it to say the entire process would take many thousands-to-millions of years.
When all the grains in a rock are easy to see the rock is described as what?
Visible crystals or grains would be referred to as a coarse grained texture.
Under which condition below would you expect a coarse grained extrusive rock?
Lava slowly flowing out of a fracture in the Earth's surface :)

A coarse-grained rock and a fine-grained rock probably had different what?
Methods of formation. If crystalline (igneous or metamorphic) they would most likely have had differing rates of cooling. If sedimentary, they would most likely have had differing depositional environments (higher energy for larger grain sizes).
Which would weather faster olivine or quartz?
Olivine would weather faster than quartz
Under what condition below would you expect a coarse-grained intrusive rock like diorite to form?
Slow cooling in the upper mantle
