Explanation:

There is very little to no vegetation at the peaks of a mountain due to extreme cold from the high altitude. The main weathering form here is mechanical weathering  through freeze-thaw of ice at the peak.  

On the floor of a forest, the main weathering that takes place is chemical weathering. Organic acids released by plants and animals in their excretion and decay mainly weathers the rocks in a forest. These acids dissolve the rock minerals hence making the rocks porous and eventually crumbling them into soil.

The weathering of the mountain peak will be mostly through the influence of the wind, water, and ice, while the bedrock under a forest will be influenced by the plants.

Explanation:

The weathering is a process that occurs everywhere in the world, on the surface and close to the surface of the planet. This process is basically the breaking up of particles from larger masses of rocks. Which type of weathering will be dominant at a particular place depends n multiple factors, such as:

  • topography
  • vegetation
  • climate
  • presence/absence of water

A bear mountain peak will be exposed to strong winds. Also, the lack of vegetation will enable the water from the rainfall to have big influence, while in the colder months the formation of ice will contribute to significant weathering. On the other side, the bedrock under a forest will have minimal influence from wind, water, and ice, as the vegetation provides protection. The vegetation on the other hand, with its roots, as well as with the decomposition will manage to weather the rocks, both on the surface and inside the ground.
