Although the general concept that escarpments in layered rocks retreat through time was
offered more than 150 years ago, recognizing the exact mechanisms, patterns and rates of …

Weathering patterns on sandstone cliff faces and sloping surfaces were studied from the
viewpoint of gravity-induced stress combined with the presence of planar discontinuities in …

The impact of climate on topography, which is a theme in landscape evolution studies, has
been demonstrated, mostly, at mountain range scales and across climate zones. However …

Cavernous weathering (cavernous rock decay) is a global phenomenon, which occurs in
porous rocks around the world. Although honeycombs and tafoni are considered to be the …

Despite recent major advances, complex factors contributing to the development of
sandstone ruiniform relief still require recognition, particularly with respect to environmental …

Cavernous weathering forms have long been studied and discussed as enigmas in
geomorphology. Recently, their evolution has been shown to be controlled by moisture …

Carbonate terrains exhibit diverse weathering features shaped by physico-chemical
processes, which lend them distinctive characteristics. In Israel, limestone strata hosting …

Climate variables including temperature, rainfall intensity, rainfall acidity, and lithological
properties are among the most important factors affecting rock weathering. However, the …

Evaporation from porous rock plays an important role in weathering processes. In the case
of salt weathering, the evaporation rate controls supersaturation of salt solutions within …

Cavernous weathering (honeycombs, tafoni) is a common weathering feature of both natural
and artificial exposures. Honeycombs are known from various environments but are best …
