A) When a rock is physically broken down into smaller pieces, the amount of surface area exposed to weathering agents increases. Hence, chemical weathering is enhanced. B) As an effect of the chemical weathering, the rock weakens, thus becoming more susceptible to physical weathering. A. Statement A is true; Statement B is false. B. Statement A is false; statement B is true. C. Both statements are true. D. Both statements are false.
