Glaciers move (very slowly) therefore functioning as a source of erosion.
They are also a source of weathering "in situ" due to their freeze/thaw cycles causing expansion/contraction of adjacent stone, causing physical deformation.

Is acid rain weathering or erosion or both?
It is erosion by weathering.
Both weathering and erosion are .?
internal forces
Wind can cause both erosion and weathering?
no
What type of rocks can be affected by weathering and erosion?
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.
How do freeze and thaw cycles contribute to both weathering and erosion?
it does
Is acid rain weathering or erosion or both?
It is erosion by weathering.
How do weathering and erosion create or change landforms?
Weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller fragments or ion in solution. Erosion is the removal of that material away from its source. Weathering and erosion are responsible for the unique landforms on Earth's surface. Every "cool" vacation spot out west was most likely created by weathering and erosion. Bryce National Park, Grand Canyon, Glacier National Park, etc. In order for erosion to occur, you must have a transporting medium, e.g. water, wind, glacial ice.
Is Uluru formed by Weathering or Erosion?
both
Both weathering and erosion are .?
internal forces
Are both weathering and erosion a form of tectonic forces?
No. Tectonic forces are from within the earth. Weathering and erosion come from the atmosphere.
What does weathering and erosion?
Thay both damigs stoff.
Wind can cause both erosion and weathering?
no
What type of rocks can be affected by weathering and erosion?

How do freeze and thaw cycles contribute to both weathering and erosion?
it does
Both erosion and weathering can be observed by?
watching for movement in rocks.

Why people want to stop or control weathering and erosion?
Weathering and erosion cause both physical and monetary damage to property and environmental areas such as buildings and topsoil.
