Describe the factor that affects the type and rate of weathering.Anyone please?

Answer 1

Weathering - I assume you mean the gradual wearing away of the landscape, structures, etc.

Wind blows sand and dirt away (dunes, etc.) Airborne grit can also wear things away, slowly sand-blasting.

Water washes things away. Water soluble rocks like limestone dissolve away. This gives caverns and canyons. Water flowing (rivers) can also cause wearing because the water-borne particles can wear away the rock. Wave action can wash away cliffs and slowly grind shores in smooth rocks and eventually sand.

Rain can also split rocks with the freeze-thaw cycle. Water gets into cracks and freezes. As it freezes, it expands, causing the rocks to split. Each successive freeze will split the rock further. The bigger the temperature swings, the more this causes breakdowns in the rock.

(This is also a problem with bricks that have been sandblasted, by stupid renovators. They sandblast off the surface glaze, water gets into the porous brick, and within a few years the bricks crumble and the house falls down.)

There are lots of other factors. Glaciers also wear away rock, because they scrape it with ice-carried rocks and boulders like slow-motion sandpaper.

Ultraviolet light from direct sunshine also causes chemical breakdown. This is most evident on human constructs (after all, most rocks have already been in sunshine for millions of years). UV breaks down chemical bonds, wrecking paints, plastics, and other organic chemicals. Acid rain and road salt (used to melt winter ice on raods) are also very corrosive; concrete structures are more easily damaged, because if acid rain seeps into cracks and reaches the metal rebar then it starts to rust the steel bars. These expand as they rust, cracking the concrete.

Wind can also work loose various bits of a building. A windstorm can blow off shingles or siding, or blow water into paces it normally won't go; once a building starts to get water damage, it can fall to pieces very quickly.

People are also a very big source of destruction. Many greek temples and roman aqueducts, for example, had lead parts to hold bloccks together or seal them. When law and order broke down, people stoile the metal because it was valuable.

Answer 4

The type of weathering that occurs is directly related to the climate that the landscape is located in. Desert climates generally are eroded by wind and blowing erosional debris, however salt shattering as well as frost shattering occur at a quicker rate due to the very quick temperature fluctuations (moisture in small cracks in rocks freezes at night and expands resulting in intense pressure that over many freeze thaw cycles breaks fragments off).
One could argue that weathering can be slowed (in the non technical sense) by the earth rebounding after the weight of the landscape is moved to a new location. As old debris is moved away, the once compressed landscape increases in elevation very slightly. This happens over millions of years, but allows shifting of landscapes to new locations. Deposition and erosion result in new landscapes which can alter climate and ultimately weathering patterns. This is a pretty basic explanation. I hope this helps.

Answer 5

Glacial erosion is probably the fastest. Repeated freezing and thawing of water. CO2 in rainwater dissolving basic rock like marble and limestone. The action of plant roots and lichens. Sandblasting.

Answer 6

the type of soil, moisture, salinity, force of water etc
