2. Rate of Weathering-

3. Rock Composition-

4. 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

5. 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.

6. 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.
