Question
which of the blocks shown in the diagram would you expect to weather at the fastest rate? block a block c block b blocks a, b, and c will all weather at the same rate
Brief Explanations
Weathering rate is related to surface - area - to - volume ratio. Smaller individual blocks in a cluster (like Block C) have a larger total surface area exposed to weathering agents compared to a single large block (Block A) or fewer larger blocks (Block B) of the same total volume. So, Block C will weather faster.
