Climate does not effect the rate in which weathering can occur. true or false

This statement is false. Climate does affect the rate which weathering will occur.  Weathering will occur when there is a physical or chemical process to the landscape. Freezing and thawing will turn minerals, like silicate, into clay. When the weather is hot it causes faster chemical weathering than it would in say colder locations. Rocks will also break down faster in a wet climate. So, climate can effect the rate of weathering. 

No because the eaeht is on a 23.5 degree axis tilt and so when it is winter the northern hemisphere is pointing away from the sun and the soutubern hemisphere is pointing toward the sun
