weathering
weathering The breakdown of
rocks and
minerals at and below the Earth's surface by the action of physical and chemical processes. Essentially it is the response of Earth materials to the low pressures, low temperatures, and presence of air and water that characterize the near-surface environment, but which were not typical of the environment of formation. There are several varieties of rock breakdown (see also
MECHANICAL WEATHERING). Simple disintegration may occur, resulting in the production of coarse, angular blocks, of peels or skins (the process of ‘desquamation’), of
sands, and of
silts. Minerals may be removed in
solution, and
chemical weathering may form new, often easily eroded substances. See also
CARBONATION;
EROSION;
FROST WEDGING;
HYDRATION;
HYDROLYSIS; and
THERMOCLASTIS.
