"degree of weathering" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It refers to the amount or extent to which a material or object has been worn away or damaged by exposure to weather conditions such as wind, rain, and sun. Example: The geologist studied the degree of weathering on the rocks and determined that they had been subject to years of intense weather conditions.
The properties of residual soils are a function of the degree of weathering.
A majority of the physical and mechanical properties have good statistical correlations with the degree of weathering.
The Cricket Flat paleosol is an Ultisol-like paleosol, chemically consistent with a high degree of weathering.
The results indicate that the variation in the index and engineering properties as well as microstructural characteristics of the residual soils with depth can be related to the degree of weathering.
Chemical weathering indices are principally based on the basic assumption that distributions of chemical elements as well as loss on ignition (LOI) content along the profile are mainly regulated by the degree of weathering.
Additionally, in contrast to short-term findings, contaminated Ottawa sand samples were more sensitive to weathering process, and the degree of weathering effects on Gmax was more observable in 4 wt% contaminated samples of both sand types in comparison with specimens containing 8 and 12 wt% of crude oil.
The yield characteristics of wells vary considerably depending on the topographic set-up, lithology, and the degree of weathering.
As a result of the abundant supply of rainfall and the local rich groundwater, almost all rocks in the study area had undergone a certain degree of weathering.
However, the el-logs also indicate by still showing low, but slightly higher resistance/resistivities down to 14 m depth, marked by (a) on Fig. 3a and b, that high degree of weathering continue into the upper part of the Togo-sequence.
Aside from the sample collected from the riser, the oil slicks and tar balls had traveled some distance from the well head and, therefore, had undergone some degree of weathering.
The Schmidt hammer (SH) test on boulders and corestones, suggests three distinctive degree of weathering (from moderately to completely weathered rock), and that biotite content is the major controlling factor of the granite mechanical behaviour.
