Regolith is a layer of loose, heterogeneous material covering solid rock . The term is a combination of two Greek words: rhegos (ῥῆγος), "blanket", and lithos (λίθος), "rock". It includes dust , soil , broken rock , and other related materials and is present on Earth , the Moon , some asteroids , and other planets . The term was first defined by George P. Merrill in 1897 who stated, "In places this covering is made up of material originating through rock-weathering or plant growth in situ . In other instances it is of fragmental and more or less decomposed matter drifted by wind, water or ice from other sources. This entire mantle of unconsolidated material, whatever its nature or origin, it is proposed to call the regolith." [1] |

Regolith ( Greek : "blanket rock") is a layer of loose, heterogeneous material covering solid rock . Regolith is present on Earth , the Moon , some asteroids , and other planets . The origins of regolith on Earth are weathering and biological processes ; if it contains a significant proportion of biological compounds it is more conventionally referred to as soil . On bodies without an atmosphere , regolith is caused by the gravitational reaggregation of debris resulting from impact with other objects. |
