Erosion is the gradual destruction and removal of rock or soil in a particular area by rivers, the sea, or the weather and weathering is the disintegration and breakdown of rocks into smaller and smaller particles by agents such as water, temperature,oxygen,wind and roots of plants

Weathering is the action of weather conditions in altering the color, texture, composition, or form of exposed objects; specifically : the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of earth materials at or near the earth's surface. This is also erosion. They are basically one in the same, because erosion comprises of physical (or mechanical) weathering and chemical weathering. Physical weathering can be wind, ice wedging, waves; it generally has to be something that physically impacts something else. Chemical weathering would be like oxidation or water. Hope this helped.

Without agents of erosion, weathered particles would remain in the same place. Through erosion, however, weathered particles are carried to new locations.

Weathering is the process of a rock being broken down into sediment and erosion is the process of the sediment being carried away. Desposition is the process of the sediment being set down.
