Which of the following rocks will be most resistant to weathering?
A)Solid bedrock

D)Bedrock with sheeting

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Solid bedrock will be most resistant to weathering because it lacks fractures or cracks that can be exploited by physical or chemical weathering processes. Jointed bedrock and bedrock with sheeting have fractures or cracks that can weaken them and make them more susceptible to weathering. Bedrock with solution weathering has already undergone extensive chemical weathering and may be weaker than solid bedrock as a result.
