Geology Module 1 Download Free Pdf Aquifer Rock Geology The most common form of biological weathering is when plant roots penetrate into cracks and crevices of rocks and cause the rock to split or break into smaller particles through mechanicalweathering. Weathering is also described as the mechanical disintegration and chemical degradation of rocks caused by the operations of numerous weather and climatic variables. weathering is an in situ or on site process since there is little or no material movement. Under the action of weathering, rocks and enclosed mineral deposits undergo disintegration and decomposition soluble parts are removed and insoluble residues accumulate, forming residual mineral deposits.

Page 3 : weathering, erosion and denudation, • the process of mechanical decay and or chemical disintegration is called, as weathering. rocks become weak, less cohesive and fractured, , • these weathered materials are easily dislodged by different natural forces, like gravity, wind, river, glaciers etc. Weathering of rock takes place under the influence of the hydrosphere and atmosphere. weathering can be either in the form of mechanical disintegration or chemical decomposition or both. The top portion of the outcrop consists of hard, coarse grained sandstone, while the lower part of the rock consist of a less cohesive, sandstone layer. the lower portion of the rock has weathered more quickly than the upper portion ultimately producing its unique pyramidal shape. Weathering refers to the various processes of physical disintegration and chemical decomposition that occur when rocks at the earth's surface are subjected to physical, chemical, and biological processes induced or modified by wind, water, and climate.
