a form of mechanical weathering where loose fragments are transported with water or wind.

n: see weathering test.

n: 1. a chemical reaction that produces carbonates.2. in geology, a form of chemical weathering in which a mineral reacts with carbon dioxide (in solution as carbonic acid) to form a carbonate mineral.

all the chemical reactions that act on rocks to produce stable minerals.

n: in a flowing stream of water, those products of weathering that are carried along in solution. Compare bed load, suspended load.

n: angular pieces of rock produced by weathering that come to rest in a sleep slope at the bottom of a mountainside. The rock is broken loose from the larger mass by repeated freezing and thawing.

a pile of rock fragments at the base of a cliff from which they have broken off.

n: 1. the breakdown of large rock masses into smaller pieces by physical and chemical climatological processes. 2. the evaporation of liquid by exposing it to the conditions of atmospheric temperatures and pressure.

n: a Gas Processors Association test for LP gas for the determination of heavy components in a sample by evaporation of the sample as specified.
