Figure 10.8.
Sketch of subedaphical weathering of a granite massif through the discontinuities system, (a)
with uniform distribution of lithostatic charges and (b) with concentrated distribution of litho-
static charges (Vidal Romaní, 1989). (c) Sketch of lacunar zone under a concentrated P charge.
The domain included in the continuous line 0 corresponds to the area located at compression.
The rest of the rock, between 0.05 and 0.35, corresponds to an area that would eventually
evolve towards a tafone or a gnamma (Vidal Romaní, 1984).
