Eburneation

Eburnation is the process of gradual destruction and change in the structure of stone under the influence of natural factors such as water, wind, frost, etc. This process occurs over time and can cause the color, texture, and even shape of the stone to change.

Eburnation can occur with both natural stones and man-made materials such as concrete or brick. For example, when buildings are built with brick or concrete, over time they can lose their shape and become more porous and deteriorating.

To prevent eburnation, it is necessary to use special materials and technologies that will help protect the stone from the effects of natural factors. For example, you can use hydrophobic coatings that will repel water and protect the stone from destruction.

In addition, it is important to choose the right place for construction in order to avoid the influence of natural factors on the stone. For example, buildings located outdoors may be exposed to wind and rain, which can lead to eburnation.

Eburneat seascape: what is it and where does it come from?

Eburneates are mountains formed by the precipitation of minerals such as calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate and potassium chloride, which result from the influence of environmental factors on sea water. These factors include an increase in temperature due to climate change, an increase in the concentration of chemical elements in a body of water, an increase in salinity, a decrease in oxygen content, etc.

In areas of high salinity close to the coast, climate and atmospheric conditions change, which leads to changes in the chemical composition of the sea. An increase in the content of magnesium and potassium in seawater promotes the formation of calcium carbates, which, in turn, form eburnate rock masses.
