    Weathering is breaking of rock due to chemical or mechanical factors

    The major facts that affect rate of weathering of a rock type are

    Porosity: More the porosity more the chance to undergo weathering

    moisture: It enhance the rate of chemical weathering, it is a climatic factor which affects the rate of weathering of rock

    temperature: again it also enhance the rate of chemical weathering, it is also a climatic factor

    mineral: it also affects the rate of weathering. If a rock has more amount of mineral quartz then it will undergo weathering in less amount however a rock having iron may weather more easily.

    softness: it also enhance the rate of weathering

    ease of dissolving: again it enhance the rate of weathering
