Question
which rocks will likely weather the least?
○ rocks that are soft
○ rocks with a porous surface
○ rocks that are in a dry climate
○ rocks with minerals that dissolve easily
Brief Explanations
Weathering (both chemical and physical) is slowed in dry climates because water is a key driver of most weathering processes. Soft rocks, porous rocks, and rocks with easily dissolvable minerals all break down or erode more quickly due to physical wear, water infiltration, or chemical dissolution respectively.
