Weathering

The breakdown of rocks, soils, and minerals as well as artificial materials through contact with the Earth's atmosphere, waters, and biological organisms.

Fluid Pressure

The pressure exerted by a fluid at any given point within the fluid, dependent on the fluid's density and depth.

Differential Stress

The difference in magnitude of stress applied in varying directions within geological formations, influencing rock deformation.

Confining Pressure

The pressure applied equally on all sides of a rock or sediment body, typically due to the weight of overlying materials, affecting pore fluid pressure and rock deformation.
