If precipitation is the same, why would you expect erosion to occur more quickly in a hot climate than in a cool climate?
High temperatures cause water to flow more quickly, resulting in more erosion.
More plants will grow in a hot climate than in a cool climate.
Rock breaks down into soil more quickly in a hot climate than in a cool climate.
Temperature actually has no effect on erosion rates.

Rock breaks down into soil more quickly in a hot climate than in a cool climate.

Explanation: Higher temperatures accelerate chemical weathering and biological activity, producing more loose regolith and soil that can be removed by runoff—so with equal precipitation, more material is available to erode.
