Nope. Galileo proved that the weight of an object has nothing to do with how fast it falls, particularly in a container with no air in it.

In one of these airless containers, you would see that a nickel and a feather fall at exactly the same speed.

Does the shape of a land formation affect its deterioration rate?

I would say it depends on the location, where the deterioration rate is faster or how much stress it is on that piece of land. If the total area of the land is large it will probably deteriorate faster, then those of the smaller land. It actually depends on the pressure that is put up on that certain crust. If the pressure is strong enough it will cause an earthquake, or other calamities in a certain location.

Two people stand on a rock one weighs 250lbs and is 7ft tall and the other is 90lbs and 5ft tall if they jump at the same time who lands first?

Assuming both individuals have the same jumping ability and initial velocity, the person who is heavier would land first due to gravity pulling them down faster. The force of gravity is directly proportional to an object's mass, so the heavier person would accelerate more quickly towards the ground compared to the lighter person.
