Tafoni on coastal slopes,South Devon,U.K.     

Derek N. Mottershead  Kenneth Pye 《地球表面变化过程与地形》1994,19(6):543-563

Cavernous weathering (tafoni development) occurs on coastal slopes in greenschist bedrock at elevations up to 40 m above sea level. The freshly weathered surfaces of the cavern interiors are irregular in morphology, discordant to major rock structure, formed by substantially weakened rock and associated with granular weathering debris. The weathering debris contains soluble elements in proportions similar to those present in seawater, and the penetration of elements associated with sea salts into the weathering surface to estimated depths of at least 0·1–0·2 m is indicated by the presence of chlorine. Scanning electron microscopy and microprobe analyses suggest that rock breakdown occurs principally through limited chemical weathering at grain boundaries. The mechanism for the emplacement of marine salts within sheltered rock surfaces in the tafoni is postulated to be a combination of dry deposition under turbulent atmospheric conditions and wetting by coastal fog.  相似文献

干旱区盐风化过程的初步研究     

徐叔鹰 《干旱区地理》1993,(2)

盐风化是干旱区一种重要的岩石风化过程。本文初步研究了盐风化作用的性质、机制和强度及其在地貌塑造和生产实践上的意义。盐风化包括盐结晶风化作用和盐水化风化作用两种类型。盐风化的强度在很大程度上取决于盐类矿物性质和气候条件。高温和干旱相结合的气候最有利于盐风化过程。通过对未风化岩石和风化岩石的对比,证明盐风化发展的速率很高。Tafoni是盐风化发展阶段的一种重要标志。  相似文献

铝土矿和其下部的铁质粘土岩组成铝岩系.铝土矿的铝硅和铝铁均呈反比关系,硅铁呈正比关系,这一特征反映出第一期脱硅,第二期脱铁的两期风化成矿作用.粘土岩的铝含量稳定,铁含量变化大,硅铁是反比关系,显示第二期风化作用,脱出的铁质在粘土岩内沉淀,并生成山西式铁矿.铝岩系具有Al_2O_3/SiO_2和Fe_2O_3/SiO_2两值间同步正相关,显示铝土矿及其母质层粘土岩的陆壳风化成矿.  相似文献

Remeasurement of weathering rates,St. Paul's Cathedral,London     

S. T. Trudgill  H. A. Viles  R. J. Inkpen  R. U. Cooke 《地球表面变化过程与地形》1989,14(3):175-196

Remeasurements of weathering rates at six sites on the base of the balustrade of St. Paul's Cathedral gave substantially lower mean results (0.06 mm a^?1, 1980–1985) than for earlier results (0.14 mm a^?1, 1980–1981). Statistical analysis of the data showed that for five of the sites there were no significant differences between the measurement periods. The only significant spatial difference was for the southwest (exposed) site which was greater than the other sites for 1980–1981, but not at later times. This site also showed the only significant decrease over time. If this site is included in the statistical analysis, the whole set shows a significant decrease over time; omitting this site from the data removes any significant differences over time. The results for this one site for 1980–1981 thus have significant bias on the data body as a whole. Methodological problems, such as rock erosion by the probe and temperature effects, are thought to have minimal effect on the interpretation of the data. Calibrations showed that measurements were accurate to ±0.006 mm and that only results of a change ≥ 0.02 mm were reliably interpretable as different. Remeasurements of the Lead Plug Index (LPI) for the top of the balustrade in 1987 gave a mean rate for 1718–1985 of 0.081 mm a^?1. This is not significantly different from the 1718–1980 mean rate of 0.078 mm a^?1 but the data are not directly comparable, the 1987 sample being smaller than the 1980 set. For the 1987 data, the only statistically significant differences are for the southeast rate ≧ northeast and for a rise in rate in the northeast quadrant. The LPI data are comparable to most of the 1980–1985 MEM data. The conclusion is that most erosion rates have neither increased nor decreased significantly in the measurement time, except for a significant decrease at one (southwest) site from 1980–1981 to 1981–1982. Such a sustained level of erosion gives cause for concern in the context of stone conservation. Causative factors of air quality are discussed and while SO₂ levels have decreased, NO₂ and smoke levels show increases. An overall decrease in stone decay in association with the decrease in SO₂ levels is thus not in evidence.  相似文献   

A preliminary scanning electron microscope study of honeycomb weathering of sandstone in a coastal environment     

J. P. McGreevy 《地球表面变化过程与地形》1985,10(5):509-518

Honeycomb weathering has been observed in a Carboniferous sandstone at a coastal location near Ballycastle on the north coast of Northern Ireland. Specimens of this sandstone have been analysed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectrometry. Results reveal that calcium sulphate (gypsum) is the only salt present and is found only at and immediately below the rock surface. SEM observations suggest that crystallization of salts in pores could easily dislodge quartz grains to promote granular disintegration, whilst etching of quartz grain surfaces attests to chemical weathering activity within the rock However, the reason for the development of the honeycomb pattern is not known.  相似文献
