Antartica

South Pole The South Pole is well inland on Antarctica polar plateau at an altitude of 9,300 feet. Because it is at altitude and in the middle of the white plateau, the temperature remains very low. There is only one sunrise and one sunset each year at the South Pole: the sun rises on September 21 and sets on March 21. During the summer months the sun slowly spirals up to its maximum height and then back down to the horizon again over a 6-month period, never setting until March 21, when the sun then remains below the horizon for the next 6 months. It is during the dark winter months that the South Pole is extremely cold. Jacksonville, Florida Latitude: 30º 29' North Longitude: 81º 42' West Elevation: 8 meters Average Temp: 20 °C Avg.

Weathering intensity is a fundamental characteristic of the regolith, they often discontinuous and highly variable layer of weathered bedrock and sediments that overlies fresh bedrock at depth. The weathering intensity index has broad applications for a range of natural resource management, environmental, mineral exploration and engineering issues.
Regolith materials cover over 85 per cent of the Australian continent and range from thin, skeletal, soils over slightly weathered bedrock through to very highly weathered bedrock at depths of more than 100 meters below the surface. Regolith is a layer of loose, heterogeneous material covering solid rock. There are some on Earth, the Moon, Mars, some asteroids. |

EuropeRare earth element deposits in Europe
The rare earth elements (REE) occur in a number of environments within the Earth's crust. They may be found in igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic rocks of a wide range of different ages. However, enrichments in the REE can typically be divided into two classes: primary types, generally formed by igneous or hydrothermal processes, and secondary types, in which the REE have been further concentrated from a primary enrichment through sedimentary processes or weathering. Primary types are typically veins, layers or zones of REE enrichment within the bedrock; secondary types may include weathered horizons such as laterites, placers, and sea-floor sediments. REE in Europe Europe currently has no mine supply of the REE, but it does have a number of areas of suitable geology with REE resources. These include alkaline igneous rocks such as those found in the Garrard Province of south west Greenland. |
In tropical Africa the basal weathering front (the lowest limit of weathering underground) is frequently 60 m down.
Earlier today Callan Bentley over at Mountain Beltway posted some pictures of some rocks with interesting weathering patterns that he’s seen recently. Here are some pictures from Knysna, South Africa of weathering similar to the photos Callan posted. One difference in the rocks below is that iron is definitely playing a role in this weathering. You can see, though, that the weathering follows fractures similar to the way that Callan’s rocks are weathering. ^^^^^^
