What do you think would be the weathering effects of a moving rock sculpture from a dry climate to a wet climate?

Well in a wet climate, erosion might accur causing the rock to change shapes etc.

Step-by-step explanation:

Climate plays a very important role in weathering. And wet climate increases the rate of chemical weathering and its affects is worse. In wet climate due to rainfall and precipitation carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere mixes with the dirt air and water and form an acid. This acid when falls on the rock sculpture can cause many damages. This weak acid breaks down the rock. Limestone, quartz or sandstone erodes very quickly by chemical weathering. Thus wet climate erodes and breaks the rock sculpture.
