Weathered material may fall away from a cliff because there is nothing to keep it in place. Rocks that fall to the base of a cliff make a talus slope (figure 1). Sometimes as one rock falls, it hits another rock, which hits another rock, and begins a landslide. Figure 1. Pieces of rock regularly fall to the base of cliffs to form talus slopes

For example, a rabbit can burrow into a crack in a rock making it bigger and eventually splitting the rock, or a plant may grow in a crack in a rock and, as its roots grow, cause the crack to widen. Even you can be a source of weathering! Boots and shoes walking over the same patch of rock may eventually wear down the rock. Chemical weathering

Weathered rock had a mean thickness of 7 m at the gneiss site (up to 10.3), 4.6 at the granite site, and 3.4 on flysch. Results indicate that weathering at the bedrock weathering front is more rapid than conversion of weathered rock to regolith, which is in turn more rapid than saprolite-to-soil conversion by pedogenesis on all three bedrock types.

2.2 Weathered Mudstone Rock The weathered mudstone rock (WMR) was also from the construction site. The sieving curve of particle size distribution of the used WMR is shown in Fig. 2. The Cu and Cc of the samples are 6.38 and 1.42, respectively. According to the two parameters, it can be judged that the WMR has good gradation.

The parent material determines the mineral content of the soil thus a soil derived from a single rock type can often be deficient in one or more minerals for good fertility, while a soil weathered from a mix of rock types (as in glacial, aeolian, or alluvial sediments) often makes more fertile soil.

The resultant iron oxides may permeate a rock if it is rich in iron minerals. Oxides may also form a coating that covers rocks and grains of sediment, or lines rock cavities and fractures. If the oxides are more susceptible to weathering than the original bedrock, they may create void spaces inside the rock mass or hollows on exposed surfaces.

Different rock types weather at different rates. Certain types of rock are very resistant to weathering. Igneous rocks, especially intrusive igneous rocks such as granite, weather slowly because it is hard for water to penetrate them. Other types of rock, such as limestone, are easily weathered because they dissolve in weak acids.

the weathered rocks depends upon the environmental conditions, which it is further exposed to. For example, weathered rocks in dry condition may swell or start disintegrating, when coming in contact with water [13]. Similarly, different applications place emphasis on different attributes of the weathered rocks [14].
