Explanation:

Weathering is the phenomenon in which surface of rocks are broken down and leaches or washed away.

The factors that affect the rock type and rate of weathering of said rock include:

Composition: this translates to the mineral composition in the rock and how susceptible to chemical weathering reaction
Surface area and porosity: Surface porosity determines how easily the rock can be leached by wind or rain.
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 ease of dissolving of the rock.

Gary doesn’t like yard work but he notices that the leaves on his lawn are starting to break down. What process is occurring her

Anettt [7]

The process is decomposition.

Decomposition is a process by which organic substances, like leaves, are broken down into simpler matter. A lot of different types of organisms, called the decomposers, will consume the organic substances(like dead plants, dead animals) and continue an essential part of the nutrient cycle. This is important for recycling the organic matter that occupies space in the biosphere.
