The 65 pages that link to Weathering, each with the reason it gives.

• ErosionCompared with: Weathering prepares material for erosion but does not itself transport it.

• CorrosionCompared with: Weathering includes physical and biological processes beyond corrosion's chemical or electrochemical scope.

• Glacial erosionCompared with: It weakens bedrock before removal, but does not itself carry material away.

• DiagenesisCompared with: Weathering commonly produces sediment before deposition; diagenesis alters it afterward.

• Biogeochemical cycleRelated: It releases elements from rocks into soils, water, and living systems.

• MineralRelated: Weathering dissolves some minerals and forms others, including clays and oxides.

• PedosphereRelated: Weathering supplies mineral material from the lithosphere to soil.

• SedimentRelated: Weathering creates many of the particles that become sediment.

• Differential erosionRelated: Weathering weakens exposed materials, making differences in resistance available for erosion to exploit.

• Phosphorus cycleRelated: Weathering releases phosphorus from minerals into soils and waters.

• Soil formationRelated: Physical fragmentation and chemical alteration release minerals that become part of developing soil.

• LithificationCompared with: Weathering tends to create loose sediment from rock, reversing lithification's direction of change.

• GeologyRelated: Weathering prepares rock for erosion and produces soil and dissolved material.

• GeomorphologyRelated: It weakens rock before erosion transports the resulting material.

• Physical geographyRelated: It supplies loosened material that erosion can transport.

• Placer depositRelated: Weathering frees resistant heavy minerals from source rocks before transport concentrates them.

• RegolithRelated: It produces much of the loosened mineral material in terrestrial regolith.

• Soil scienceRelated: It supplies mineral material and releases elements during soil development.

• GoethiteNarrower topic: Goethite commonly forms as iron-bearing materials weather.

• Rock cycleRelated: Weathering breaks exposed rock into material that can enter sediment pathways.

• ApatiteRelated: Weathering of apatite releases phosphorus into soils and waters.

• SedimentologyRelated: Weathering supplies mineral grains and dissolved material that can become sediment.

• Engineering geologyRelated: Weathering changes rock strength and can deepen weak zones beneath a site.

• EscarpmentRelated: Weathering weakens exposed rock and prepares escarpment material for removal.

• MalachiteRelated: Weathering releases copper that can be recombined into malachite.

• CassiteriteRelated: It frees resistant cassiterite from its host rock before erosion and placer concentration.

• LandformRelated: It breaks exposed rock into material that can be moved into new landforms.

• Oxidation zoneNarrower topic: Surface weathering supplies oxygenated water that drives alteration in the zone.

• SandRelated: Weathering releases grains that can become sand.

• Economic geologyRelated: Weathering can enrich some deposits by removing soluble material or concentrating resistant minerals.

• Sea stackRelated: Weathering weakens exposed stack surfaces alongside wave action.

• Volcanic soilRelated: It converts unstable volcanic glass and minerals into clays and other soil constituents.

• FluorapatiteRelated: Weathering can dissolve fluorapatite and transfer its ions into soils and water.

• Oxide mineralRelated: Weathering transforms primary minerals and concentrates many iron and aluminum oxides.

• Phosphate mineralRelated: Weathering dissolves phosphate minerals and redistributes their phosphorus.

• IlmeniteRelated: Weathering releases resistant ilmenite grains from their source rocks.

• Native element mineralRelated: Weathering can destroy native metals or concentrate resistant grains in sediments.

• Rock shelterNarrower topic: It is the broader process that produces many shelter-forming cavities.

• SiltstoneRelated: Siltstone's fine grains influence how it breaks down and shapes exposed slopes.

• BrookiteRelated: Brookite may occur in weathered zones where titanium-bearing minerals are altered.

• Geochemical cycleRelated: Weathering releases elements from rocks into soils, waters, and the atmosphere.

• Kata TjutaRelated: Physical weathering gradually loosens material from Kata Tjuta’s exposed surfaces.

• Native metalRelated: Weathering can dissolve surrounding material and concentrate resistant native-metal grains.

• TantaliteRelated: Tantalite’s resistance to weathering allows it to accumulate in some placer deposits.

• Craters of the Moon National Monument and PreserveRelated: Weathering gradually alters young lava and helps create soil for plant communities.

• Land (terrain)Related: Weathering produces loose material that changes land surfaces and helps form soil.

• Mountain formationCompared with: Weathering wears down the rocks that uplift and volcanism add or expose.

• NaturalRelated: Weathering creates and modifies natural deposits encountered during excavation.

• Natural environmentRelated: Weathering forms soil and releases materials that influence terrestrial environments.

• RockslideNarrower topic: Weathering weakens intact rock and enlarges discontinuities over time.
