Weathering
Technical paper 35: Moisture measurement in the historic environment, published by Historic Environment Scotland in 2021, defines weathering as: ‘The natural breakdown of materials due to interactions of the atmosphere, water, and biological organisms.’
The glossary of statistical terms, published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), defines weathering as: ‘…the disintegration of rocks into small soil particles through the physical and chemical action of atmospheric agents, for example, rain, water, frost, wind, temperature changes, plant and animals.’
