Rates of weathering are affected by climate. Warm wet climates promote rapid chemical weathering, while dry climates inhibit chemical weathering. Dry climates, however, provide good conditions for physical or mechanical weathering.

Regolith is simply the mineral remains of recomposed of rocks, but soils contains organic material, such as the root of plant fallen leaves, etc.
