  2. Surface area and porosity: Surface <u>porosity </u>determines how easily the rock can be leached by wind or rain.
  3. Climate: Mechanical weathering due to extreme climate change can cause freezing and thawing of the rocks, thereby enhancing disintegration of the rock. This is determined by the <u>ease of dissolving </u>of the rock.
