Depending on the factors initiating the chemical weathering process, weathering of minerals depends on their stability. Owing to the stability some gets weathered slower and some faster in comparison to other minerals. The process of weathering of minerals depending upon their stability is occurring in a sequence, often referred as weathering sequence. Establishment of sequence of weathering process occurs on the basis of certain criteria, comparative persistence with depth of formation, age of formation, size of particle, intensity factors of weathering, and geographical factors.
