I think it is an example of erosion, since erosion is the process that moves weathered material from one spot to a different one
Mudslide is an example of Masswasting process. It is caused by the downward movement of mud through a slope. So Mudslide could be referred to as a vertical erosion.
Although the terms are frequently used together, weathering and erosion are uniquely different. Weathering is the physical, chemical and biotic breakdown of a substance and erosion is how it is carried off. Ice, water and wind contribute to the erosion process.
first the weathering happens which causes an erosion which makes deposition.
No. Frost wedging is a type of weathering.
Yes. Physical weathering is erosion caused by wind, dust, rain, flowing water, collapses, impacts, freezing/thawing, or glaciers.

1. WEATHERING a. physical weathering/mechanical weathering b. chemical weathering 2. EROSION a. erosion by water b. erosion by wind c. erosion by ice/glaciers 3. MASS MOVEMENT a. landslide b. mudslide 4. TECTONIC PLATE MOVEMENT
Weathering and erosion
Yes! Erosion is a type of Mechanical Weathering. Erosion made the Grand Canyon, and other landforms like it.

Yes, a mudslide is erosion because it is moving sediment from place to place.
Erosion does not cause weathering. Erosion is a TYPE of weathering in which surface soil and rock are worn away through the action of glaciers, water, and wind.
Any type of rock that is at or near the surface could be affected by weathering and erosion. Mountains are eventually flattened; caves are formed underground. Both are the result of weathering and erosion.
water erosion is a type of weathering caused by water.
Erosion
Carbonate rocks, such as limestone, tend to be the least resistant to weathering and erosion.
weathering and erosion are steps that happen when it rains.
