Chemical weathering accelerates in areas where temperatures are warm and humid. If you were an urban planner working in a heavy
industrial city that is warm all year and humid, what recommendations would you make to prevent the loss of valuable historical monuments to the weathering process?
Use materials more resistant to chemical weathering.
Explanation:
In the context of a warm and humid city, it is important to use building materials that are not extremely susceptible to chemical weathering. Buildings made of brick and/or iron and steel will survive much longer in the elements in a tropical condition than will a building made of wood or calcite. The latter is especially vulnerable to even the slightest amount of acidity in the rain and is easily dissolved.
