Answer 1

Examine factor resistance rock denudation

Answer 2

The factors that determine the resistance of rock are as following:

1. The structure of the earth
2. Local climate of an area.
3. Influence of man

Explanation

Nature of relief The higher is the relief of a particular region, the higher is the rate of denudation and the lower is the relief of that region, the lower is the rate of denudation.

• The structure of the earth. The softer the structure of the earth, the greater is the rate of denudation and vice versa.
• Local climate of an area. Wet climates tends to increase the rate of denudation as compared to dry climate.
• Influence of man. The higher the rate of man’s activities on the earth surface, the greater the rate of denudation and vice versa.
