Which are factors of rock types that affect the rate of weathering? check all that apply. porosity, moisture, temperature, mineral, softness, or ease of dissolving

Weathering is breaking of rock due to chemical or mechanical factors

The major facts that affect rate of weathering of a rock type are

Porosity: More the porosity more the chance to undergo weathering

moisture: It enhance the rate of chemical weathering, it is a climatic factor which affects the rate of weathering of rock

temperature: again it also enhance the rate of chemical weathering, it is also a climatic factor

mineral: it also affects the rate of weathering. If a rock has more amount of mineral quartz then it will undergo weathering in less amount however a rock having iron may weather more easily.

softness: it also enhance the rate of weathering

ease of dissolving: again it enhance the rate of weathering

the dependant variable is spilled water

the independent is the heat
