Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Climate plays an essential role in the weathering process. Both precipitation and temperature are essential climatic components.

With appropriate climatic condition, trees and plants grow which leads to biological weathering of rocks.

High temperature and rainfall causes chemical weathering .

Rainfall alone causes weathering by penetrating through the rock fissure.

Not only this, in cold climatic condition weathering also takes place due o cycle of freezing and thawing.

Thus, the statement "Climate does not effect the rate in which weathering can occur" is false.
