Granitic Weathering

Granitic weathering refers to the natural process by which granite rocks break down over time. This occurs due to physical and chemical factors such as temperature changes, water infiltration, and reactions with acids in rainwater. As granite weathers, it may fracture and form smaller rocks or soil. This process is important for creating fertile land and shaping landscapes. Over time, granitic weathering contributes to nutrient cycling and the formation of essential materials for ecosystems, impacting agriculture, water quality, and biodiversity. It reflects the dynamic relationship between geological materials and environmental conditions.
