Answer to Question 1

Bedding/ stratification: changes in depositional processes; Mud cracks: desiccation; Graded beds: changes in current strength.

Answer to Question 2

Limestone exposed in a very wet tropical forest would weather faster than limestone in a dry desert. The warm, wet conditions would encourage chemical weathering. The limestone would undergo dissolution more quickly with the aid of acidic waters from rain. The heat would drive chemical reactions to go faster.
