anonymous · Answer

The inscription on marble gravestones become harder and harder to read over because of chemical weathering. Chemical weathering is mostly caused by when water interacts with minerals to create various chemical reactions. For example: Rocks near the ocean get eroded away quickly because of constant wind and water hitting against them causing the minerals to break down more quickly.
