In a humid-temperate climate such as that of Pennsylvania or Washington, dc, weathering breaks down granite to produce Quartz sand, clay, and rust, that stay to help make soil, while some ions dissolve and wash away.
Weathering of granite in Pennsylvania or Washington DC or other places where abundant rain falls makes some things (clay, rust, and quartz sand) that stay behind to contribute to soil, and other things (soluble ions) that dissolve and wash away very quickly.
Weathering describes the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on the surface of the Earth. Water, ice, acids, salts, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering. Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and mineral away. No rock on Earth is hard enough to resist the forces of weathering and erosion.
Weathering is often divided into the processes of mechanical weathering and chemical weathering
- Biological weathering, in which living or once-living organisms contribute to weathering, can be a part of both processes.
- Mechanical weathering, also called physical weathering and disaggregation, causes rocks to crumble.
- Chemical weathering changes the molecular structure of rocks and soil. For instance, carbon dioxide from the air or soil sometimes combines with water in a process called carbonation.
