The effectiveness of water in weathering parent rock material depends on seasonal and daily temperature fluctuations.

Possibly the parent rocks underwent postmagmatic alterations before being metamorphosed.

Assisted by Alan Carter, he scans the parent rock.

The natural vegetation is grassland/scrubland due the thin soil influenced by the parent rock.

Parent rock, also referred to as substratum, refers to the original rock from which something else was formed.
