Hidden erosion: Study reveals soft mountain rock erodes three times faster than hard rock—with climate implications
A University of Massachusetts Amherst-led research team has discovered that weaker rock in mountain landscapes erodes three times faster than harder rock—even on gentler slopes—and is one of the main attributes governing mountain erosion.
