Climate and type of rock
What factors determine how fast a rock will deteriorate?
The type of rock and climate influence how fast it will weather. If a rock is more permeable, it is more prone to deteriorating quickly because pockets of air leave a larger surface area to be damaged. The climate can break down rocks through wind and water.

What determines the rate at which rocks weather '?
Climate and type of rock
A sedimentray rock composed of what would weather at a faster rate?
Chalk would weather fastest, followed by limestone.
What kind of rock would weather the fastest?
Sedimentary rocks are probably most vulnerable to weathering because they are formed from cemented (sometimes loosely) particles of other rocks.
What is another spelling for weather?
to break down in small pieces of rock.
Which specific type of rock would weather the fastest?
Sedimentary rocks would weather the fastest, especially ones like limestone, because it's made mostly from calcium carbonate, which is easily dissolved by the slightly acidic rainwater.
Why are soil profiles in Arctic shallow?
Because of cold climate, rock materials weather more slowly.
What kind of rock would you most likely find in weather basin?
