Weathering and Soil

Question 7 • DRHS GA-GSE Earth Systems

Which is one factor of rock types that affects the rate of weathering?

Answer
A
porosity
B
moisture
C
temperature
D
mineral color

Explanation

Porosity is a property of the rock that affects how quickly it weathers. A more porous rock lets water and air enter more easily, which can speed up weathering. Moisture and temperature also influence weathering, but they are environmental conditions rather than rock-type factors. The correct choice is porosity.
