Sentence examples for on granitoid from inspiring English sources

Inselberg systems characterized by backwearing tend to occur on granitoid rocks that are foliated, highly fractured, and prone to grusification.

All soils developed on granitoid moraines.

In this paper we characterized several weathering profiles developed on granitoid rocks in the Sila Massif upland (Calabria, southern Italy), integrating detailed macro- and micromorphological observations with physico-mechanical field tests and petrographic, mineralogical and geochemical analyses.

The paper deals with the development of a multidisciplinary research on weathering profiles of granitoid and gneissic rocks related to tectonic and landscape evolution of the western Sila Grande Massif (Calabria, southern Italy).

Our results showed that sericite on plagioclase and biotite chloritization, that represent inherited features formed during late-stage hydrothermal alteration of granitoid rocks, may cause an overestimation of the real degree of weathering of primary mineral grains under meteoric conditions, especially in lower weathering grade classes.

At 900 °C, a silicate glass of granitoid composition, a carbonatitic precipitate, and Na-carbonate are observed.

The obtained results indicate that the classifications can be used for a wide range of granitoid rocks.

Understanding of the dynamics of this weathering system is crucial to the interpretation of the complex suite of variables that control landscape evolution of granitoid terrains.

In the present study, an extension of the previous studies on "laboratory simulation of flow through single fractured granite" was conducted, in which consistent fluid flow experiments were performed on cylindrical samples of granitoids of two different sizes (38 mm and 54 mm in diameters), containing a "rough walled single fracture".

The laboratory analyses of granitoids revealed highly-strained zones on the slopes of Mt. Machupicchu, which strongly affect the largest slope deformation.

In this research, several physico-mechanical properties are measured on three types of Alvand granitoid rocks across five weathering grades ranging from fresh to completely weathered rocks.
