Climate. Climate is another factor that plays a significant role in the rate of weathering. Climate is mostly based on the temperature and rainfall of a region. Water is an important element in weathering, so we see that wetter climates are prone to faster weathering. Temperature is also important. In a lab, chemists will often use heat to speed the rate of a chemical reaction.
The altitude affects the climate in the sense that the higher the altitude the colder and harsher the climate.For instance, on top of a mountain there are severe wind chills and extremely low temperatures.ltitude affects the climate because wind blows moisture from the ocean up the side of the mountain, the air gets cold and can't hold the moisture anymore so it rains/snows th â¦ en the now dried air goes down the other side of the mountain and it normally creates a desert or something dry on the other side.
