Marls


Marls are transitional rocks between limestones and clays. Under the influence of negative temperatures, marls crack and disintegrate. They have the ability to swell and absorb water intensively. Slopes composed of marls slide when wetted. Siliceous marls containing silica impurities exhibit greater resistance to weathering
