A large rock is broken into several smaller pieces. Compared to the rate of weathering of the large rock, the rate of weathering of the smaller pieces is *

A)the same
B)less
C) greater

Compared to the rate of weathering of the large rock, the rate of weathering

of the smaller pieces is greater.

Weathering is the process in which rock particles are broken down into

smaller parts through agents such as wind, water etc

The degree of weathering is inversely proportional to the size of the rock.

The smaller the size of the rocks, the bigger the degree of weathering.

Smaller rocks have a larger surface area which makes it easier for the  

agents of weathering to act on them.
