Because the large one has a more bigger surface than the small rock
Small rocks have a larger surface-to-volume ratio , and are therefore more quickly weathered compared to a large rock with a lower surface-to-volume ratio.
Because the large one has a more bigger surface than the small rock
Small rocks have a larger surface-to-volume ratio , and are therefore more quickly weathered compared to a large rock with a lower surface-to-volume ratio.
Small rocks have less mass and surface area compared to large rocks, which allows forces like weathering and erosion to act more efficiently and quickly break them down. Additionally, small rocks may experience more frequent impacts and movements due to their size, further accelerating the wear and tear process.
When you think about it a larger rock has more surface area to be worn away think about it like if you have a large sweet or a small sweet,which will be gone faster if you suck/chew it,the small sweet because there is less of it
Small rocks have a larger surface-area-to-volume ratio, leading to more contact between the rock and its environment, accelerating weathering and erosion processes. In contrast, larger rocks have less surface area relative to their volume, resulting in slower rates of weathering and erosion.
Lava rocks typically have fine to medium-sized grains due to their rapid cooling process when formed from molten lava. Large grains are less common in lava rocks than in other types of igneous rocks that cool more slowly beneath the Earth's surface.
Erosion.
Short is to tall as small is to large. In this analogy, short is the opposite of tall, just as small is the opposite of large. The relationship between short and tall is one of relative size, with short being less tall. Similarly, small is less large in terms of size.
Of course small fish eat less than large fish.
The process by which softer, less weather resistant rocks wear away and leave harder, more weather resistant rocks behind
