Which statement best shows the physical weathering in this picture?

• This type of weathering is common in warm and humid climates

• enlargement of the cracks occurs because water expands when it freezes.

• the cracks become wider because of chemical reactions between water and the rock.

• this type of weathering only occurs in bedrock composed of granite

The rock layers could be weathering at different rates due to

• differences in mass

• differences in age

• differences in mineral composition
