What is it called when rocks are broken down by water wind ice and heat?
it is called an erosion
What is a non-example of erosion?
Weathering
What is it called when water wind ice or heat breaks down rocks into smaller pieces?
It is called weathering.
Contrast weathering and erosion?
Weathering is the disintegration and decomposition of rock at or near the surface of the Earth. Erosion is the transportation of material by water, wind, or ice. Simplistically, weathering is the breakdown of rocks and erosion is the carrying away of the broken down fragments.
What is weathering and erosion and explain weathering and erosion?
weathering and erosion are steps that happen when it rains.

Weathering
What is it called when water wind ice or heat breaks down rocks into smaller pieces?
It is called weathering.
What type of force is weathering and 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.

What is an example of physical weathering in your backyard?
soil erosion.
Which process weathering or erosion is easier to see actually taking place?
Why is erosion easier to see than weatheringHow can the process of erosion take placeWhat caused the weathering or erosion take placeWhere does weather erosion mostly take placeDoes weathering take place before or after erosionDoes weathering need to occur before erosion takes placeDoes weathering must take place before erosionWhy is weathering important to the process of erosionWhich process is faster erosion or weatheringWhat does ice have to do with the process of weathering and erosionB1TCH
