moss needs no light because it is a decomposer
Weathering and erosion caused by exposure to elements like rain, wind, and sunlight can wear down the surface of the marble, making the inscription harder to read over time. Additionally, biological growth such as moss, lichen, or algae can accumulate on the stone and obscure the text.
Weathering effects like erosion from wind, rain, and temperature changes, as well as biological growth like moss or lichen, can cause the inscription on a marble gravestone to fade or become harder to read over time. Additionally, pollution and air quality can contribute to the deterioration of the stone and make the inscription less legible.
Marble is a durable stone with small porosity which is why it is often used for gravestones and memorials as well as architecture. Deterioration comes from simply from weathering (rain, snow, wind) and it is sped along by a mixture of the moisture with atmospheric pollutants and temperature. Currently, scientists are evaluating gravestones in order to measure the history of acid rain in a project called the "Gravestone Project".
The color of roof shingles typically becomes darker over time due to the accumulation of dirt, algae, moss, and other environmental factors. Additionally, UV exposure can cause some shingles to fade, leading to a lighter appearance in certain cases. However, the overall effect is often a darkening as debris builds up. Regular maintenance can help mitigate these changes.
