In general, weathering tends to occur more rapidly in warm climates than in cool climates. How does this trend explain the effect of temperature on erosion rates?

There is a huge and direct effect of temperature on the rates of erosion.

The highest rate of weathering occurs in warm and wet climate because in warm and wet climatic regions, more rainfall occurs which increase the rate of weathering. Rainfall and temperature can affect the rate in which rock weathering occurs.

High temperatures and greater rainfall increase the rate of chemical weathering. Rocks in tropical regions exposed to abundant rainfall so we can conclude that hot temperatures weather much faster than similar rocks residing in cold, dry regions.

Explanation:

Weathering refers to the breakdown of rocks to form soil. There are several agents of weathering.

In warmer regions, there are more vegetation and microorganisms and they increase the rate of biological weathering.

Since weathering leads to the formation of soil and the rate of weathering is greater in warmer climates, it also follows that as temperature increases and more soil is formed, erosion will happen faster at this higher temperature owing to the presence of more soil compared to colder climates.

out of these options:

ability to burn paper

pure sodium reacting violently with water

the boiling point of water

helium does not tend to react with anything

i would say this is a physical property:

helium does not tend to react with anything

why? :

i said helium does not tend to react with anything because well, it reacts to ! but ability to burn paper, pure sodium reacting violently with water, & the boiling point of water are chemical or

physical properties: the properties of a substance that can be observed without changing the chemical makeup of the substance

chemical properties: properties of a substance relating to the chemical nature and reactivity of the substance

the answer would be c
