Weathering and Weathering and ErosionErosionWhat is
weathering?Weathering is the breaking down of rocks into smaller parts by plants, chemicals, frost, and changes of temperature.
What is erosion?
Erosion includes weathering and also the transporting of weathered material from one place to
another by running water, wind, and
glaciers.
