This question was addressed to me during an interview for a job.

This question is from Geological Work of Atmosphere in division Geological Work of Natural Resources of Engineering Geology

Answer 1

Correct option is (c) Hot and humid – Mechanical weathering is predominant

The best I can explain: In the hot and humid conditions chemical weathering is predominant and not mechanical, since, there is presence of moisture.
