Why a single 500 kg block of granite weathers much more slowly than 100 chunks of granite weighing 5 kg each?
A single block of 500 kg granite weathers more slowly than 100 chunks of 5 kg each due to the smaller surface area-to-volume ratio of the single block. The surface area is where weathering processes predominantly occur, so a larger surface area increases the exposure to weathering agents like water and air. The smaller chunks have more surface area relative to their volume, leading to increased weathering compared to the larger block.
