Question

rate of weathering and erosion depends upon which​

Answer 1

Answer:

it is depend on temperature or sunlight

Answer 2

Factors that affect rates of weathering

Explanation:

The rate at which rates of weathering and erosion of a rock depend on:-

• Particle size-The smaller the particle size, the greater the surface area for chemical attack.
• The mineral composition of the rock is also an important factor.For example-Slate which is composed of clay minerals are very resistant to weathering while this is not true for marble.
• The order of crystallisation also plays an important role.For example-In Bowen's reaction series olivine crystallises first and is least resistant to weathering.
• Climatic factors also affect the rate of weathering and erosion.
