Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The weathering index (WI) is a measure of the potential for physical weathering of rocks and is influenced by both the amount of water present (which is related to average annual winter rainfall) and the number of freeze-thaw cycles (which is related to the number of freezing-cycle days). The average annual air temperature, while important for other climatic and weather-related factors, does not directly influence the WI. Therefore, the best choice is E - A and B only.
