sedimentary
Limestone is a common type of rock found in karst areas. Karst landscapes are characterized by the presence of limestone rock that is susceptible to dissolution by natural processes, creating unique surface and subsurface features such as sinkholes, caves, and disappearing streams.
The rate at which rocks weather is determined by factors such as the type of rock, climate (temperature and precipitation), presence of vegetation, and human activities. Rocks that are more susceptible to chemical and physical breakdown will weather faster compared to more resistant rocks.
Landslide
Larger rocks tend to be more susceptible to weathering because they have more surface area exposed to the elements, allowing for greater erosion over time. Smaller rocks may be less susceptible because they have less surface area to be weathered.
The type of rock that likely formed first to initiate the rock cycle is igneous rock.

Rock salt - is mainly used to grit roads in winter to reduce the chance of cars slipping on ice.
Landslide
more susceptible to icing.
The roots of certain plants can break or crack into a rock, making the rock more susceptible to frost wedging (ice wedging).

Static friction keeps your shoes from slipping on the floor. This type of friction occurs when two objects are not moving relative to each other. Static friction creates a grip between the floor and the shoes, preventing slipping.
Agglomerated
The rock cycle is how one type of rock can be changed into another type of rock.
Soft rock on a cliff is susceptible to erosion from factors such as wind, rain, and waves. Over time, the soft rock may weather and erode, potentially leading to rockfalls or collapses. The rate of erosion depends on various factors, such as the type of rock, climate, and presence of vegetation.
