Weathering of soft rocks is usually considered as an important factor in various fields such as geology,engineering geology,mineralogy,soil and rock mechanics,and geomorphology.The problem of stability over time should be considered for slopes excavated in soft rocks,in case they are not protected against weathering processes.In addition to disintegration of material on slope surface,the weathering also results in shear strength reduction in the interior of the slope.Principal processes in association with weathering are discussed with the examples of marl hosted on flysch formations near Split,Croatia.
