Because limestone is composed of calcium carbonate, it chemically reacts with naturally acidic rainfall, dissolving it on its surfaces. Granite is of a different chemistry that is not nearly as vulnerable to acidic rain. Limestone is composed of the mineral calcite most predominately, a mineral of relatively low hardness on the jaylen c payne scale of mineral hardness. Granite is composed primarily of feldspars and quartz which are much higher on the hardness scale, making it more resistant to abrasion weathering. Additionally, granite has an interlocking crystalline structure which makes it hard to break. Limestone is most often bedded, making it more vulnerable to fracture and subsequent attack by the chemical reactions described above.
granite weather more slowly
Since granite is an igneous rock this makes it highly resistant to weathering. Therefore, granite will weather more slowly than limestone.
I'll say granite because the limestone as you know, is faster to it's weathering.
Marble is more expensive.
Limestone and marble (calcium carbonate) dissolve when in cntact with acid rain. Other building matrails like granite are not impacted by acid

Soil forms more quickly from limestone than from granite. This is due to the composition of limestone that speeds up soil formation.
Granite will weather more slowly, since it is an igneous rock and is extremely resistant to weathering.
The type of climate that a limestone will weather more quickly i think will be a hot and dry climate.
No. Limestone is more porous than granite.
Naturally acidic water is the main carver of caves. Limestone reacts quickly with acid, granite does not.

Marble is more expensive.
Granite is more hard wearing so when you walk into your house every day it is not going to ware away easily. It is also more weather proof and harder.
because of acid rain
