Question

1. which factor has the most direct impact on increasing the rate of chemical weathering in a warm, humid environment?○ low annual rainfall○ large, unbroken rock masses○ high temperatures and abundant moisture○ low surface area exposure

Explanation:

Chemical weathering relies on reactions that speed up with warmth and water. Low rainfall, large unbroken rocks, and low surface area all slow or prevent this process, while warm temperatures and abundant moisture directly drive faster chemical reactions that break down rocks in a humid environment.

Answer:

C. High temperatures and abundant moisture
