Answer 3

It would have to depend on the environment.

If it was a desert, exposed rocks on a plain would weather quickly compared to slope since wind can contact rocks on all directions (besides bottom)

if it was a stream/mountain with precipitant, running water carries more energy on slopes and would graze the rocks and weather quickly relative to a plain

Answer 4

exposed on a plain..i think
