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.
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 is the breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces, erosion is the movement of these sediments from one place to another by wind, water, or ice, and deposition is the settling of these sediments in a new location. Weathering and erosion work together to shape the Earth's surface, while deposition adds new sediment to create landforms like beaches, deltas, and sand dunes.
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.

Yes, erosion is a synonym of weathering.
weathering then erosion ,then deposition
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.

Wind and water are the major causes of weathering and erosion.
facts about weathering
weathering and erosion
By weathering and erosion. The types of weathering used is:physical weathering- when a plant grows inside a rock and the roots break it apart; abrasion- mechanical weathering - erosion- and chemical weathering - acid rain, water weathering and erosion.
