Question

Select the false statement about weathering.

  1. Rocks of different chemical compositions weather at different rates.
  2. Hot and heavy rainfall increases the chances of chemical weathering.
  3. The presence of soil slows down the weathering of the underlying bedrock.
  4. If the rock is exposed at the surface for a longer time, the weathering will be more.

hintHint:

The presence of soil does not slow down the weathering of the underlying bedrock.

The correct answer is: The presence of soil slows down the weathering of the underlying bedrock.


    • The weathering is more in the rock that is on the surface.
    • Hot and heavy rainfall is a factor that increases chemical weathering.
    • The chemical composition of the rocks makes the weathering process differ.
