Answer:

The correct answers are:

• Softer, porous, or more permeable rocks weather faster than harder rocks.

• Rocks in warmer climates weather faster than rocks in colder climates.

• The more water present, the faster the rate of weathering.

Step-by-step explanation:

Weathering is the process through which the surface minerals of rock are broken down and loosened. This occurs through the action of extreme temperatures, rainwater and biological activity.

Hope this helps- Good luck ^w
