Sentence examples for rate of weathering from inspiring English sources
The chemistry of the evolving water depends not only on the bulk chemistry of the matrix but also on the rate of weathering.
Based on these simulations, we argue that the rate of weathering front advance is controlled by the rate at which porosity is created in the weathering interface, and that this porosity increases because of mineral dissolution following a rate that is largely surface-reaction controlled.
Biotic involvement in the rate of weathering of basalts is the test case for this new, generic life detection paradigm.
Increasing the rate of weathering as well to reach a new balance is the straightforward answer to the problem of rising CO2 levels in the atmosphere [2].
According to Bewket and Steroosnijder (2003), the inorganic sources of P from mineral weathering have considerable importance in their contribution to soil available P as intensified human practices increase the rate of weathering and encourage the decomposition.
The variations in topography, surface material (rock and soil), and land cover which influence the rate of weathering are the reasons for the differences in the concentration of calcium in the waters of the study area (Kumar et al. 2014).
These equations relate the measured net fluxes to the (known) stoichiometries and (unknown) rates of weathering reactions for multiple minerals in the weathering profiles.
(4) Rates of weathering (using a combination of cosmogenic nuclides and zirconium-normalised cation loss balances) co-vary primarily with physical erosion rates and much less with temperature or precipitation.
Postglacial rates of weathering were determined from surface lowering using quartz veins as reference surfaces.
In the team's lab tests, the moss also increased rates of weathering of iron and phosphorus from granite by 60 and 170 times, respectively.
In this study, we present catchment-wide rates of weathering, erosion, and denudation measured with cosmogenic nuclides in mafic and ultramafic rock.
