Chemical weathering is caused by a combination of water and various chemicals to create an acid which directly breaks down the material.In moist areas there is more water present and therefore more reactant material. The primary process in mechanical weathering is abrasion, or the rubbing together of materials. There are many different kinds of mechanical weathering, some are more common in hot moist areas, and some are more common in cold, dry areas. So no, mechanical weathering does not occur faster in hot moist areas.

Nice picture of yourself(?) It would be nice if more people did it. It's kinda nice knowing who you are speaking to.
One of the prime examples is that of sulfuric acid, or acid rain. Even though mild in concentration, this form of weathering does major damage to objects formed of limestone (such as marble statues).
