To calculate the surface area of a rock, you can use geometric methods if the rock has a regular shape, such as a cube or sphere, by applying the relevant formulas for surface area. For irregularly shaped rocks, you can use techniques like water displacement to estimate volume and then apply a surface area estimation formula or use 3D scanning technology to create a digital model for precise calculations. Alternatively, you can cover the rock's surface with a material, measure the coverage area, and extrapolate from that data.
Fracturing increases the surface area of a rock exposed to weathering.
The surface area and volume of rock significantly influence the rate of weathering, as a larger surface area relative to volume allows for more exposure to weathering agents such as water, air, and biological activity. When rocks are broken into smaller pieces, their total surface area increases, which accelerates chemical and physical weathering processes. Conversely, larger, solid masses of rock have less surface area exposed, slowing the weathering rate. Additionally, variations in rock composition and structure can also impact how easily rocks weather.

You need to:* Calculate the surface area * Calculate the volume * Divide the surface area by the volume
To calculate the pressure exerted on a surface, the force acting on the surface is divided by the surface area. Mathematically, pressure = force / area.
surface area divided by volume
To calculate the pressure exerted on a surface, the force normal to the surface is divided by the surface area. The formula for pressure is pressure = force / area.
To calculate the surface area of a shape find the area of each side, and then, add all of the areas together. The sum of the areas is the surface area.
You measure or calculate the surface area; you measure or calculate the volume and then you divide the first by the second. The surface areas and volumes will, obviously, depend on the shape.
The surface area of a rock has a big affect on the rate of weathering. The higher the surface area of the rock in proportion to its overall mass will result in a quicker rate of weathering of the rock.
Fracturing increases the surface area of a rock exposed to weathering.
It depends on the shape whose surface area you are interested in.
The surface area of a sphere = 4*pi*radius2
It depends on percentage related to WHAT! You cannot express surface area as a percentage of volume since the dimensions are different. So the only percentage you can have is the suface area of the smaller rock as a percentage of the surface area of the larger rock. In that case, the answer, not surprisingly, is that the smaller rock has the smaller percentage surface area.It depends on percentage related to WHAT!

The same way you calculate the surface area of any other rectangle: Multiply the length of the wall by its height.
