Have a little read: ... Cristina Clark 12A Describe and account for the different types of weathering that effect two types of rock Weathering is the atmospheric action on rocks by physical, chemical or biological processes; there is no movement of the rock involved. Lithology refers to the physical characteristics of a rock, as each rock is different, such as its vulnerability to weathering, its permeability and its structure, they greatly influence the landforms that can be produced by weathering. Carboniferous limestone and granite can show how characteristics affect different rocks, as they are two of the main types of rock that produce distinctive types of landform and scenery. Both granite and carboniferous limestone are vulnerable to weathering, as they have air gaps, which water can penetrate into. Carboniferous limestone (sedimentary) contains horizontal bedding planes, which separates different layers in a sedimentary rock and also vertical joints at right angles to the bedding planes. Whereas granite has cracks
