A large rock is broken into several smaller pieces. Compared to the rate of weathering of the large rock, the rate of weathering of the smaller pieces is
greater
surface area has been increased
increasing temperature and increasing precipitation
more total surface area
There is more surface area exposed.
warm and moist
dissolves many minerals
a piece shaped flat and thin
In hot, wet climates, bedrock rapidly weathers into soil because water
