Science - Geology | | Italian term or phrase: fessurato | Le soluzioni di IATE mi sembrano riferite ai metalli e non adatte a questo contesto:
"La prima classificazione è quella che suddivide i terreni rocciosi (ammassi costituiti da materiale litoide) caratterizzati, in genere, da elevata consistenza meccanica, normalmente fessurati ed eventualmente più o meno degradati, e i terreni costituiti da particelle. Questi ultimi sono il risultato delle azioni meteoriche e/o ambientali (gelo, acqua, vento, trasporto) che disgregano i materiali rocciosi dando luogo a sedimenti di particelle.
A sua volta, la classificazione dei terreni costituiti da particelle viene effettuata secondo due criteri:
Il primo, piuttosto ovvio, in base alla grandezza dei grani, il secondo in base alla coesione che eventualmente presenta l’ammasso, concetto che verrà ripreso più avanti. Il ciclo di formazione delle rocce e terreni sedimentari costituiti da particelle è schematicamente illustrato nella seguente figura." |
