Response patterns and mechanisms of weathering crusts on feldspathic metagreywacke under solar radiation at the Helankou petroglyphs site

Key Points

• Response patterns of weathering crusts change with solar radiation exposure, highlighting environmental interactions.
• Detailed assessment shows solar radiation significantly influences the chemical composition of metagreywacke crusts.
• Analytical techniques were employed to observe response patterns of feldspathic metagreywacke under various solar conditions.
• Findings suggest the need for further studies on weathering processes under diverse environmental conditions.
