  Abstract:  

Assessment of Intensity of Weathering on Bihor Mountain Rocks. Weathering represents one of the most important processes of rock alteration “in situ”. The intensity and the rate of weathering are under control of interaction between climatic, petrographic, topographic, and biotic factors. The analysis of the samples collected into the field in Bihor Mountain allowed the identification of several distinct types of weathering manifestation, materialized as different alteration crusts. In order to assess the intensity of weathering two categories of methods were used: 1) absolute methods and 2) relative methods. The gained results offered the possibility to highlight the manifestation’s particularities of weathering within analyzed area.

Keywords: weathering intensity, chemical index of weathering, Bihor Mountain.
