Weathering and Corrosion of Stone Relics
The weathering and corrosion of the stone relics were the result of many factors. ** 1. Internal factors ** The different material structure of the stone cultural relics would lead to weathering. For example, the stone may be composed of small gravel particles. When in water, under the influence of water and other factors, the stone bond will reduce or lose its ability to bond, causing the gravel to gradually disintegrate and fall off, and finally fall apart. ** 2. External factors ** 1. ** Physical factors ** - There were micropores and tiny cracks on the surface of the stone. After the water came out, the water and gas in the surrounding environment could still permeate into these pores. Due to changes in temperature, condensation, and other reasons, the water and air in the cracks would expand and contract, resulting in physical changes. It would gradually cause the pores to expand, deepen, and increase, eventually causing the surface of the stone to crack, melt, and fall off. 2. ** Chemistry ** - The water may contain salt substances, and the stone cultural relics will be pulverized, discolored, moldy, carapace, cracked and corroded by the crystallization of salt eroded by water. 3. ** Biological factors ** - Microorganisms may multiply and grow on the surface of the stone cultural relics and in the cracks, which will cause the surface of the stone cultural relics to change color and surface weathering. During the process of corrosion and weathering of stone relics, the frequent activities and great influence of microorganisms were the most valuable for research. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
