Suppose we have two rock samples, A and B. Rock A was subject to both physical and chemical weathering while rock B was subject to chemical weathering only. Which rock would experience more chemical weathering? Why? (2pts) (Hint: consider the effect of surface area on the rate of chemical weathering)

Rock A will have far more chemical weathering than Rock B due to the rise in area effect

Explanation:

Rock A undergoes both Physical and Chemical weathering. So, thanks to physical weathering there'll appear cracks within the rock, which can, in turn, increase the area of rock on which weathering is occurring. So, Chemical weathering will happen much faster now as there's a rise in the area. within the case of Rock B, there's only chemical weathering therefore the increase in the area won't be that very much like compared to Rock A.

points

explanation:

if the temperature drops and becomes cool

then the atmosphere can be freezing as the water vapor in the air is at maximum (100%) and can be severely cold

also can be snowing lightly as the moisture in the air will start to solidify

and btw this is not chemistry but
