Chemical weathering occurs when minerals in rock react with water. These chemical reactions physically weaken rock by altering its structure. Rocks in streambeds then become more susceptible to ...

Freeze-thaw weathering occurs when rocks are porous ... Roots burrow into the rock, weakening the structure of the rock until it breaks away. Plant roots can get into small cracks in the rock.

We entertain two hypotheses. The depth of mobile layer and degree of weathering of saprolite reflect either differences in material transport rates or differences in chemical weathering rates. In the ...

"However, it is difficult to extrapolate today's weathering rates by non-vascular plants and lichens measured in the field to a global effect on chemical weathering in the Ordovician. In our study ...
