Why does chemical weathering occur faster in a hot climate?
chemical weathering occurs faster in a hot climate because chemical reactions speed up with increased temperature.
Why does chemical weathering accure more quickly in a hot climate?
Chemical weathering occurs more rapidly in a hot, wet climate because chemical reactions speed up with increased temperature.
What climate does chemical weathering occur the fastest?
== == Rocks weather the fastest, due to chemical means, in high rainfall , high temperature conditions.
How fast does weathering occur?
Weathering and erosion occur all the time even when mountains are forming
In what type of weathering does salt wedging occur?
mechanical weathering
What does weathering occur?
In the Stratosphere
What are three ways that the climate factors of temperature and moisture affect rate of weathering?
The more severe the weather is, the more weathering will occur. Hot temperatures make things erode faster because of humidity while freezing will preserve them.
What is the habitat of the Colorado Chipmunk?
Habitat: Colorado chipmunks occupy rocky, broken terrain in open woodlands and shrublands, mostly in foothills and canyons. At lower elevations they occur in piñon-juniper woodlands and montane shrublands and at higher elevations they are found in montane forests
What type of weathering does not happen in the desert?
Mechanical and chemical weathering both occur.
Where does weathering of a rock take place?

How does physical weathering make the job easier for chemical weathering?
Physical weathering, such as cracks, creates more surface area for chemical weathering to occur on.
When does weathering occur most?
