How does the surface area of a rock affect the rate of its weathering?
Of two rocks with the same composition, texture and porosity, there are multiple factors affecting their rate of weathering. Generally speaking, however, smaller rocks would tend to be mechanically weathered more quickly because they are more prone to transportation by the agents of erosion. This transportation by wind, water and ice exposes the smaller rock to more abrasion and fracture which quickens its rate of weathering. Chemical weathering also occurs more quickly in the smaller rock, as the rate of chemical weathering is directly related to the relationship of surface area to a rock's volume. The higher the surface area in proportion to mass, the quicker the rate of weathering; thus the smaller rock would weather faster.
Two factors that play a significant role in this type of weathering are?
Temperature and Pressure
What are 2 factors that affect the rate of weathering?
The most important factors that determine the rate at which weathering occurs are the type of rock and the climate. Rainfall affects the rate of weathering.

Factors that affect rates of weathering (climate)?
Two key factors affect the rates of weathering rock type and climate. Climate: is the single, most important factor that affects the rate of weathering. Chemical reactions occurs faster at higher temperatures, Warm climates favor chemical weathering, cold climates favor mechanical weathering(principally freezing and thawing), more moisture, or precipitation present, the more noticeable weathering.
What factors determine a biome?
Two factors that determine a biome are precipitation and temperature.
