Rate of Weathering-
Rock Composition-
Amount of Exposure (surface area)- The amount of exposure a rock is showing affects it’s rate of weathering because the more surface area a rock is showing, the faster it will weather, in
Climate- conditions including temperature, precipitation, and wind that happen in a region. Climate affects the rate weathering because different types of weathering either happen faster or slower due to temperature, rainfall, and wind conditions.
Topography- The configuration of a surface and the relations among its man made natural features. Topography affects the rate of weathering because the elevation of a rock affects how fast or slow the rock is weathered.
