If the gravestone is a carbonate rock like limestone the rain will eventually erode the stone away as rain water is slightly acidic. Old tombstone are often illegible because of this as all the raised lettering is washed away. Alternately if the rain seeps into any cracks and freezes the stone will split or pall.

At what temperature does the weather reach boiling point?
Weathers boiling point?.... if you mean rain, its water so .. 100 degrees?..
Which rock weathers most rapidly when exposed to acid rain?
Limestone weathers most rapidly when exposed to acid rain due to its high calcium carbonate content which reacts with acidic water to form soluble calcium bicarbonate, leading to its dissolution.
How acid rain weathers rock?
It lands on the rocks and dissolves them.
What weathers marble and limestone?
carbon dioxide: when it mixes with rain& water will create carbonic acid rain which weathers marble and limestone.so carbonic acid weathers marble and limestone.
