Eroding! Eroding! Concepts’ Houses Have No Foundations!
<p>Weathering is the geologic process that breaks down rocks and minerals at Earth’s surface through physical, chemical, and biological mechanisms. Frost weathering, oxidation, hydrolysis, abrasion by wind and water, and plant growth can all contribute to weathering rock over time.</p>
<p>Majestic mountain peaks thrust toward the sky, imposing monuments of stone rising tall over the landscape. Yet even these mighty edifices forged over aeons yield before time’s patient touch. Seasonal ice crystals wedge themselves into microscopic cracks and fissures, prying open spaces between mineral grains under cryogenic expansion. This frost weathering slowly works the rock apart. Churning winds carrying fragments of silica sand scour and erode precipitous cliffs, smoothing rough contours into gentler slopes through abrasion.</p>
