The Rio Icacos watershed is located in the Luquillo Mountains of Eastern Puerto Rico (Fig. 1).The watershed area contributing runoff to the gaging station maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey is 3.26 km 2.Covered mostly by pristine tropical montane forest, the basin receives a very large annual rainfall of 4300 mm year −1 …
Climato-tectonic evolution of siliciclastic sandstones on Puerto Rico …
Sandstones deposited during arc volcanism are quartz-poor lithic and feldspatholithic arenites, whose geochemistry largely matches that of the oceanic-arc volcanic and plutonic rocks on Puerto Rico.
Weathering of the Rio Blanco quartz diorite, Luquillo Mountains, Puerto
In the mountainous Rio Icacos watershed in northeastern Puerto Rico, quartz diorite bedrock weathers spheroidally, producing a 0.2–2 m thick zone of partially weathered rock layers (∼2.5 cm thickness each) called rindlets, which form concentric layers around corestones. Spheroidal fracturing has been modeled to occur when a weathering …

Chemical weathering in a tropical watershed, Luquillo Mountains, Puerto
The pristine Rio Icacos watershed in the Luquillo Mountains in eastern Puerto Rico has the fastest documented weathering rate of silicate rocks on the Earth's surface. A regolith propagation rate of 58 m Ma-1 calculated from iso-volumetric saprolite formation from quartz diorite, is comparable to the estimated denudation rate (25-50 Ma-1) but is …
