Lec 4 WEATHERING OF ROCKS AND MINERALS Types of weathering No chemical changes Chemical weathering • Rocks and minerals have chemical changes and formed new mineral that different from primary mineral Hematite Limonite • CaSO 4 2H 2 O CaSO
Get PriceChemical Weathering • Oxidation Chemically active oxygen from atmosphere Iron oxides are common result hematite limonite • Soil and sedimentary rocks often stained with iron oxides • Red Sandstones colored by hematite Themopolis Wyoming
Get PricePyrite originally in the limestone altered during chemical weathering to limonite and remained disseminated in the clay Mountain ore refers to limonite that is more massive occurs in sheets or other more definite shapes and is usu ally associated with shale or other relatively impervious
Get PriceChemical weathering changes the composition of rocks often transforming them when water interacts with minerals to create various chemical reactions Chemical weathering is a gradual and ongoing process as the mineralogy of the rock adjusts to the near surface environment
Get PriceCHAPTER 5 WEATHERING EROSION AND SOIL WEATHERING the disintegration and decomposition of rock at or near surface MASS WASTING the transfer of rock material downslope under the influence of gravity
Get PriceLimonite has been known to form pseudomorphs after other minerals such as pyrite meaning that the chemical weathering transforms the crystal of pyrite into limonite but keeps the external shape of the pyrite crystal

Get PriceChemical weathering involves the direct effect of atmospheric chemicals or biologically produced chemicals also known as biological weathering in the limonite and hematite This gives the affected rocks a reddish brown coloration on the surface which crumbles easily and weakens the rock This
Get PriceMethods established by Goldich 1938 in his classic study of rock weathering have been applied with some modifications to analysis of a weathered rock series collected in the Antarctic Exposures of a finegrained quartz diorite exposed at Marble Point McMurdo Sound were selected for study because they appeared to have undergone extensive chemical weathering
Get PriceWeathering is when rocks break down in place that is without moving the rock This is usually done by water but there are plenty of other physical and chemical processes that break down rocks without moving them Physical weathering occurs when a tree root grows into a rock and breaks through when a river cuts
Get PriceThis type of chemical weathering occurs commonly with hematite limonite and goethite In any area with iron silicates this type of weathering will occur This is an example of oxidation
Get PriceWeathering to the group of destructive processes that change the physical and chemical character of rocks at or near the earth s surface Weathering is to be distinguished from Erosion which is the picking up or physical removal of rock particles by an agent such as streams or glaciers
Get PriceThe five categories of chemical weathering processes are dissolution hydration hydro lysis carbonation and oxidation reduction Water is a key ingredient in all chemical weathering The formation of limonite from hematite is a typical hydration reaction in soils and one that causes soil color to change
