Honeycomb weathering is not limited to natural settings and can be seen to develop on buildings where a rate of development can be established. This rate can be as fast as several centimeters in 100 years Mustoe 1982 . Honeycomb weathering occurs throughout the world from the polar regions French and Guglielmin 1999 to the equator. There are two distinct types of coastal honeycomb weathering intertidal and supratidal. Cause For honeycomb weathering to occur, a source of salt is needed because the basic mechanism for this kind of weathering is salt heaving. Salt is deposited on the surface of the rock by Seawater saltwater spray or by wind . Moisture must be present ... them vulnerable to other forms of weathering.

Merge Geoengineering date December 2009 Enhanced weathering refers to chemical approach to geoengineering involving land or ocean based techniques. Examples of land based enhanced weathering techniques are in situ carbonation of silicates. Ultramafic rocks, for example, have the potential to store 500 years worth of CO2 production according to one estimate. Ocean based techniques involve alkalinity enhancement, such as, grinding, dispersing and dissolving limestone, silicates, or calcium hydroxide to address ocean acidification and CO2 sequestration. Enhanced weathering is considered as one of the least expensive of geoengineering options. Category Geoengineering ... more details
Differential weathering is the difference in degree of discoloration , disintegration , etc., of rocks of different kinds exposed to the same environment. Quartz deposits in basaltic flows will weather slower than the surrounding rock, while being exposed to the same forces of weathering. More simply, Differential weathering is the chemical or physical breakdown of different rock units at different rates. The rate of breakdown is determined by several factors the rocks mineral composition, surface area, climate, time, etc. Landforms created by differential weathering consist of balanced rocks, cliff and bench topography, natural arches, natural bridges, and fins.

Attrition is a form of coastal or river erosion , when the bed load is eroded by itself and the bed. As rocks are transported downstream along a riverbed, the regular impacts between the grains themselves and between the grains and the bed cause them to be broken up into smaller fragments. This process also makes them rounder and smoother. Attrition can also occur in glaciated regions, where it is caused by the movement of ice with embedded boulders over surface sediments. Pebbles are more affected by attrition further upstream, as the rivers velocity tends to be higher, and therefore its competence ability to carry sediment is increased. This means that the load rubs against itself more and with more force when suspended in the river, thus increasing erosion by attrition, though there is a point after transport over a certain distance that pebbles reach a size that is relatively immune to further attrition. Grain size distribution of sediments produced by attrition will also be controlled by the lithology of the rock from which they are derived. The effects of attrition can be mistaken for the effects of Sorting sediment sorting , in which the grain size of sediments is affected by sediment transport mechanisms e.g. suspension v. bed load. This effects pebble beaches the most as the pebbles smash into each other and causes it to smooth. In most cases attrition is helpful on pebble beaches because it will make sure the pebbles do not cut people and harm others.
