Explosions from composite volcanoes occur as a result of gas buildup within them. Shield volcanoes also may erupt explosively if water accumulates inside their vents.
Weather is the temperature and conditions for a day or short period of time and climate is the temperature and conditions over a long time.
Answer:
Rainfall and temperature can affect the rate in which rocks weather. High temperatures and greater rainfall increase the rate of chemical weathering. Rocks in tropical regions exposed to abundant rainfall and hot temperatures weather much faster than similar rocks residing in cold, dry regions.
