Question

which of the following is not considered a factor in soil formation?
climate
parent material
ocean currents
time
a marble statue in a warm wet city becomes rough and pitted after years of acid rain
name the weathering type and the specific chemical process. explain in one sentence why that climate speeds it up.
your answer
which of the following best describes the slow downhill movement of soil over time?
creep
landslide
mudflow
rockfall

Explanation:

The weathering type is chemical weathering. The specific chemical process is carbonation (as acid rain, which contains carbonic acid, reacts with marble - calcium carbonate). In a warm wet climate, there is more moisture for the acid rain to form and more kinetic energy (due to higher temperatures) for the chemical reactions to occur at a faster rate.

Answer:

Chemical weathering, carbonation. Warm wet climate provides more moisture and energy for faster reactions.
