The breakdown or dissolution of rocks and minerals of the planet's surface is called weathering it can be chemical, biological or physical.
Chemical weathering occurs in regions with high rainfall and high temperature.
- In Albany, NY the temperature is 9°C with 98 cm rainfall while in Washington, DC the temperature is 15°C with 111 cm rainfall that is Washington is hotter compared to Albany so it will have chemical weathering.
- Water (rainfall) and temperature is the main cause of weathering as they loosen and breaks the mineral of rock surfaces.
- The rocks and minerals get dissolved in the water bodies because of erosion by which they get carried in oceans.
Therefore, Albany will have mechanical while Washington will suffer from chemical weathering.
