Why does the acton of wind and sand affect the base of the rock rather than the top?
Wind and sand erosion primarily affects the base of a rock due to the angle at which particles are propelled by the wind. As wind carries sand, it tends to strike the lower portions of the rock more directly, causing increased abrasion at the base. Additionally, the upper part of the rock is often more sheltered from direct wind and sand impact due to its height, allowing the base to erode faster and leading to undercutting and potential collapse of the upper structure.

Why do Oscar fish mest with the rock?
Oscars have evolved to spawn on a solid rock base. I would assume the reasons for this would be ones of survival. Easy to keep clean and easier to watch over on rock rather than on a softer base.
What does not affect the rate of weathering in rocks?
The rate of weathering in rocks is not affected by the type of rock but rather by environmental factors such as temperature, moisture, and the presence of vegetation. Additionally, weathering is not influenced by the age of the rock but rather by the physical and chemical properties of the rock material.

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.
