Rocks in cold, dry climates resist chemical weathering better than those in hot, wet climates.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chemical weathering is more effective in hot, wet climates because the increased temperature accelerates chemical reactions, and the presence of water is essential for many of these reactions to occur. In contrast, cold, dry climates slow down these processes, making rocks more resistant to chemical weathering.
