A lateral sequence of five morphologic zones exists within each weathered bedrock horizon.
The granitic bedrock is sufficiently weathered to meet paralithic materials criteria but is not so intensively weathered to be considered saprolite.

Sheeting fractures and exfoliation domes commonly develop in areas with soft highly fractured bedrock.
The objective for creating the fbzs was to evaluate whether blast fracturing could create a zone of highly interconnected fractures that would exhibit greater ground water.
