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.

How is surface area related to weathering?
How does slope affect the rate of weathering
If the surface area is greater is the reactivity of chemical weathering greater?
the smaller the particle size, the larger the surface area exposed to weathering for a given volume of material. The presence of joints therefore increases a rock's surface area. which then changes chemical composition
How does chemical weathering promote mechanical weathering?
Mechanical weathering breaks down the rock into smaller pieces, exposing more surface area. This allows the acid and chemicals to break down the pieces of rock faster.
How does surface area affect damping of an oscillation?
The larger the surface area, the larger the damping of an oscillation
Where surface area is not affect the rate of a reaction?
Surface area affect the reaction rate because the contact between finely divided particles is improved.
How do the amount of a rock's surface area affect its rate of weathering?
the speed get high
How does surface area affect the weathering rates?
A great surface area is a factor which favors weathering.
How does the surface affect the rate of weathering?
more surface area= faster rate of weathering
How does the surface area of a rock affect the rate of weathering.?
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.
How does surface area affect weathering?
it doesnt
Does the surface area affect weathering?
No, because the weathering makes it hotter
How is surface area related to weathering?
How does slope affect the rate of weathering
How is surface area related to area?
How does slope affect the rate of weathering
How does surface areas affect the rate of weather?
more surface area= faster rate of weathering
How does an increase in surface area affect the rate of weathering?
If you do a chalk experiment, you will find out that increasing the surface area speeds the rate of weathering. The reaction/weathering will happen quicker. Most people are doing this in science. Your welcome
How does the size of an exposed rock affect its rate of weathering-?
When rocks are larger, the surface area is more exposed making the rate of weathering greater.
What is the relationship between surface area and weathering rate?
The rate of weathering also depends on the surface area that is exposed. Mechanical weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces. As the pieces get smaller, their surface area increases. When this happens, there is more total surface area available for chemical weathering. The result is that weathering has more of an effort on smaller particles.
