Match each type of climate with its impact on the rate of weathering. cold and wet weather temperate and dry weather hot and wet weather pairs it speeds up chemical weathering. it speeds up mechanical weathering. it slow down weathering.

The correct answers are "cold and wet weather - It speeds up mechanical weathering", "temperate and dry weather - It helps slow down weathering" and "hot and wet weather - It speeds up chemical weathering".

Explanation:

Weathering is a geological process at which rocks are broken down into sediments, clays and other types of soils. The rate of weathering is affected by climate conditions in different ways. Cold and wet weather speeds up mechanical weathering mainly because the freezing of water that results in the production of ice breaks down the rocks by physical means. Temperate and dry weather helps slow down weathering because at temperate temperature weathering is not favored physically or chemically. Hot and wet weather speeds up chemical weathering because most chemical reactions occur more quickly at warm temperatures.
