    Explanation:

    The climate has a crucial role in the processes of weathering, on their type, their quickness, their end result. The warmer climates where there's also more precipitation are the places where the weathering is the quickest. The warmth, water, and lot of biomass provide the conditions for strong chemical weathering, thus breaking up the rocks into fine sediments very quickly. The cold climates on the other hand have much slower weathering rates. The reason for this is the absence of liquid water, as well as the absence of biomass. On the other hand, the ice in this climates contributes to mechanical weathering, breaking up the rocks with the pressure it creates inside and on them.
