Weathering is the breaking down of rock into smaller and smaller particles. Weathering processes include frost wedging, acid rain dissolution, root growth, wind particle abrasion, heat expansion cracking, hydraulic fracture, and rock tumbling in rivers and streams.
Erosion is the movement of weathered material from one place to another place through the agents of erosion: wind, water, ice, and gravity.
In tandem, weathering and erosion act to lower the high points, and raise the low points on the surface of the planet.
Weathering refers to the breaking down of rocks and minerals into smaller pieces over time, while erosion involves the movement and transportation of these weathered materials by natural forces like wind, water, or glaciers. In essence, weathering is the process of decomposition, while erosion is the process of transportation.
Weathering does not necessarily have to take place before erosion. While weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller particles, erosion is the process of transporting these particles to a new location. Weathering can occur simultaneously with erosion or even after erosion has started.
Weathering: disintegration, decomposition, deterioration Erosion: abrasion, corrosion, scouring Deposition: accumulation, sedimentation, deposit
Erosion
Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller particles, erosion transports these particles away from the area, and deposition leaves them in new locations. These processes can create differences in soil types, landforms, and vegetation patterns in the black prairies.
Weathering and erosion are related processes, but they are not synonyms. Weathering refers to the breakdown and alteration of rocks and minerals on the Earth's surface, while erosion involves the removal and transportation of these weathered materials by natural forces like wind, water, and ice.
erosion reqiures movement and weathering doesnt
the difference between weathering & erosion is quite simple weathering breaks down and erosion carries it away like a blow dryer
Erosion is when..................................................................................................................................................and weathering is when......................................................................................................!
physical weathering is weathering that you can reverse and chemical weathering is where you can' reverse it.
Yes, erosion is a synonym of weathering.
weathering then erosion ,then deposition
maybe there just differrent by how they work
Weathering does not necessarily have to take place before erosion. While weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller particles, erosion is the process of transporting these particles to a new location. Weathering can occur simultaneously with erosion or even after erosion has started.
first the weathering happens which causes an erosion which makes deposition.
Because the bigger the load is, more weathering and erosion there is. The less of it means less of weathering and erosion.
Weathering and erosion
Wind and water are the major causes of weathering and erosion.
