Question

Topography influenced rate of weathering

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Topography is the shape of the Earth's surface and its physical features.

2.  Weathering is the breaking down of rocks, soils, and minerals as well as wood and artificial materials through contact with water, atmospheric gases, and biological organisms.

3. Topography is constantly being reshaped by weathering, erosion, and deposition.

4. In mechanical weathering, the shape and size of the rock change due to water, wind, or ice moving soil or breaking rocks into smaller pieces.

5. Similarly, how does surface area affect the rate of weathering, When the amount of surface area relative to volume increases, the rate of weathering increases.
