MT HOLLY SPRINGS, Pa. There is a lot history buried at the Cedar Street Cemetery in Mt. Holly Springs, Cumberland County, and the Mt. Tabor Preservation Project is making sure those stories are told. The non-profit teamed up with Dickinson College to place solar lights on unmarked graves at the cemetery

Research led by the University of Wyoming shows that physical weathering is far more important than previously recognized in the breakdown of rock in mountain landscapes. Because it is difficult to measure, physical weathering has commonly been assumed to be negligible in previous studies.
Cliff Riebe, a professor in UW’s Department of Geology and Geophysics, headed a research group that discovered that climate and erosion rates strongly regulate the relative importance of subsurface physical and chemical weathering of saprolite, the zone of weathered rock that retains the relative positions of mineral grains of the parent bedrock and lies between the layer of soil and harder rock underneath. Saprolite is much like the weathered granite found on the flat areas surrounding the hard granite of Vedauwoo.
