Study of Effective Weathering Processes on Rocks

Abstract

The purpose of writing this scientific article is to accurately 
identify the factors influencing the weathering of rocks. The 
findings of this research show that weathering is one of the 
most essential and important geological processes that play a 
key role in rock transformation and degradation. According 
to climate studies, chemical weathering dominates in warm 
and humid areas, while physical weathering occurs more in 
cold and dry regions. The key factors affecting rock 
weathering include: rock type, climatic conditions, moisture 
level, ambient temperature, presence of organic matter, and 
dissolved chemical compounds-all of which are among the 
most important parameters determining the intensity and 
type of weathering. In addition, the resistance of the 
minerals that make up the rock and their internal structure 
against decomposition plays an important role in this 
process. Better understanding of these factors can be widely 
applied in natural resource management, preservation of 
stone structures, and geological change analysis
