Simulating weathering of basalt on Mars and Earth by thermal cycling
Physical weathering induced by heating and cooling may cause rock breakdown on Mars and Earth. We report results from parallel weathering simulations on basalt blocks exposed to diurnal cycles representing Mars-like (two simulation runs from -55 to +20 oC and -75 to +10 oC, 1-100% relative humidity,...
