Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Quartz is the most resistant to chemical weathering as it is made up of a hard mineral that is not easily broken down by acid or other chemicals present in weathering processes. Limestone, dolomite, and gypsum are all easily weathered by chemical processes. Iron-bearing rocks can also be susceptible to chemical weathering, especially when exposed to oxygen and water.
