Weathering is the decomposition of earth rocks, soils and their minerals through direct contact with the planet's atmosphere. Metamorphism is the solid-state recrystallisation of pre-existing rocks due to changes in heat, pressure, and/or introduction of fluids. SImply put, weathering is the break down of rock (wear and tear) and Metamorphism is rock changing due to Heat,Pressure, and Chemically active fluids
