Abstract:<p>The weathering front, the interface beneath Earth&#8217;s surface where unweathered bedrock is converted into weathered rock, is a zone where chemical disequilibrium results in some of the most intense mineralogical transformations. These are focused into a narrow zone; yet its depth is poorly known due to its inaccessible nature deep beneath the Earth&#8217;s surface. Studies in humid and temperate climate suggest a maximum depth of 20 m for the weathering front in granitoid r… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
