Clay Formation Through Weathering

  • Hervé Chamley

Abstract

Sedimentary clays may have various origins. One of the most expected origins consists in the erosion, transportation, and deposition of geological and pedological formations that are exposed at the surface of land masses. It is necessary to summarize the conditions of clay genesis in such formations in order to appreciate to what extent the sediments may incorporate the materials issued from their erosion.
