No it doesn't because weathering causes rocks to break down not build up.

What two things can cause changes in the minerals making up rocks?
chemical weathering
What is the breaking up of rocks in to sediments called?
weathering
What it is weathering?
weathering is the decay of the rocks of the earth's crust to the exposure to the atmosphere i.e., a process by which the rocks exposed on the surface get broken up into smaller particle. there are 2 types of weathering: 1.mechanical weathering 2.chemical weathering
What process breaks rocks down into smaller pieces?
The process called weathering is responsible for the breaking up and wearing away of the Earth's rocks. The broken up rocks are then carried away by the process of erosion.
Why rocks are broken down?
Rocks can be broken up by them being moved in quick flowing rivers or streams. If there are other rocks in there, they may hit each other and bits will come off.
How does weathering build up the land?
weathering breaks ddown rocks and bulid up the land in small little peices of rocks
What does weathering cause?
weathering results in the disintegration of rocks on a large scale. then these rocks break-up and forms soil and the soil forms the soil profile.
How can pocket gophers cause physical weathering?
By digging deep holes in the ground and breaking up rocks.
What two things can cause changes in the minerals making up rocks?
chemical weathering
How does freeze-thaw weathering cause rocks on coastal cliffs to break up?
Freeze-thaw weathering occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, expands, and then thaws. This repeated cycle of freezing and thawing weakens the rocks by exerting pressure on the cracks, causing them to widen and break apart. In coastal cliffs, the presence of water from the ocean can accelerate the freeze-thaw process, leading to the gradual breakdown of the rocks over time.
Does weathering and erosion work together continuously to build up rocks and make them bigger?
No, quite the opposite.
How can trees and other plants cause weathering?
they cause it by their roots growing into rocks and breaking up the rocks. After the rocks have been broken up by trees and plants' roots, water and air will wash it away, and eventually dissolve it.
How is weathering related to the geologic cycle?
it's related because weathering is PART OF THE geologic cycle. when weathering occurs it breaks down rocks and the geologic cycle means to build up and wear down the earth's process.
What kind of rocks are caused by weathering?
The most common rock that experiences weathering, is sedimentary rocks. Metamorphic and Igneous are unlikey to.
How can weathering mechanically and chemically change the earth?
Mechanical weathering or physical weathering changes the earth by causing rocks to crumble. Mechanical weathering has the same effect when rocks heat up and cool down
