"Weathering" Meaning
Weathering refers to the breaking down or decomposition of rocks, soils, and minerals as well as wood and artificial materials through contact with the Earth's atmosphere, water and biological organisms. Weathering occurs in situ, meaning that little or no movement of the rock or mineral particles involved is required to produce the breakdown. The rates at which weathering occurs are affected by factors such as climate, the physical structure of the rocks or materials involved, and the presence of organisms.
