How do mosses and lichen cause chemical weathering?
By they acid in the substances it weathers the rock away.
Why doesn't pumice or obsidian turn into a metamorphic rock?
Pumice and obsidian are both forms of volcanic glass, which weathers away fairly easily.
What type of matter has the fastest molecules?
The type of matter that has the fastest molecules are gas. The reason for that it is because since gas particles are spread out the most, they have more room to float around. Which means that they have the fastest moving molecules.

What three factors determine the rate at which rock weathers?
The rate at which rock weathers is primarily determined by climate (temperature and precipitation), the type of rock (composition and structure), and the presence of living organisms (such as plants or bacteria) that can contribute to the weathering process.

What rock weathers very slowly?
Granite weathers very slowly due to its high resistance to weathering processes. This is because granite is a hard, durable rock with a low susceptibility to chemical reactions and physical breakdown.
