Solution(By Examveda Team)

The rate of weathering of rocks depends on the composition of the rock, the climate of the area, the topography of the land and the activities of humans, animals and plants.
The rate of weathering is generally high in a humid tropical climate, because of the combination of high heat and heavy rainfall.
Generally, hot wet climates accelerate chemical weathering while cold dry climates accelerate physical weathering.
