- Способность сопротивляться выветриванию [воздействию погодных факторов], атмосферостойкость ~ of structure to perform satisfactory способность сооружения выполнять своё функциональное назначение, соответствие сооружения требованиям нормальной эксплуатации
- All physical disintegration, chemical decomposition, and biologically induced changes in rocks or other deposits at or near the earth`s surface by atmospheric or biologic agents or circulating surface waters with essentially no transport of the altered material. these changes result in disintegration and decomposition of the material. compare - regolith, residuum, saprolite. hp
- Refers to the various processes of physical disintegration and chemical
- The breakdown of large rock masses into smaller pieces by physical and chemical climatological processes.
