Not exactly, when erosion occurs weathering is happening.' Weathering is almost the same thing as erosion, but not completely.

Must weathering happen before erosion?
Yes, because weathering must happen first so that when the weathering breaks down the rock into smaller pieces, erosion can take place and carry the pieces down by means of transportation.
How does the process of weathering and erosion begin?
Processes of erosion and weathering occur as long as the following are secured:There is heat from the sun (for the water cycle to take place, as well as for wind to be possibleThere is material above the surface of the oceans (for the processes to take place on, otherwise the processes will either be slow or non-existent, especially if there was no moon)There must be life for some types of weathering to happenI hope this answers your question.
What two processes must take place before an unconformity can form in geology?
Erosion and deposition
Do tornadoes cause weathering erosion and deposition?
Tornadoes do cause some soil erosion, though it is rarely significant. Eroded material must eventually by deposited, but this does not occur by any mechanism directly related to tornadoes.
Why does erosion happen before deposition?
Without erosion of particles, deposition (depositing) would have no particles to deposit. So erosion must come first.
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

Why must weathering happen before erosion?
In 'normal' situations, a body of rock must first be broken down into smaller units before it is able to be transported by wind, water, and ice. The breaking down of rock is called weathering, and the transportation of weathered rock is called erosion.

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.
Why weathering and erosion happen in the Grand Canyon?
Erosion occurs because a river flows through it (it is a feature of river erosion), and also the fact that it has some narrow parts, there can be high wind speeds so wind erosion also occurs. Then when you consider weathering, you must consider what kinds of weathering can occur. The Grand Canyon has a large diurnal range (different between highest and lowest temperatures) resulting in ex-foliation, but is quite dry so it is unlikely that biological or freeze-thaw weathering occurs. It is a National Park, so it should be considered that human erosion is minimal or non-existent (apart from erosion caused by careless tourists). Overall, the Grand Canyon has a lot of exposed rock, so there are plenty of opportunities for weathering and erosion to occur.
Do tornadoes cause weathering erosion and deposition?
Tornadoes do cause some soil erosion, though it is rarely significant. Eroded material must eventually by deposited, but this does not occur by any mechanism directly related to tornadoes.

Without erosion of particles, deposition (depositing) would have no particles to deposit. So erosion must come first.
Can a sedimentary rock be formed from lava or magma?
Yes but it must be done through weathering and erosion to break down those rocks and then deposition and finally cementation
How did both weathering and erosion formed the Grand Canyon?
the colorado river was trying to get through the massive rocks which we now call the grand canyon. After years of weathering and erosion the rocks started to erode forming a huge canyon......it is so big so that is why we call it the grand canyon today. hope this helps!! :)
Why is there very little weathering or erosion on the moon's surface?
This is mainly because there is little or no atmosphere. Most agents of erosion cannot act in the environment as it is too cold too. Wind cannot act as there is little gas to be moved; rivers cannot exist as it is too cold, and then you must consider that the water cycle is essential for rivers to be generated; there are no oceans on the moon; there are no surface glaciers on the moon. Therefore, the moon has little or no erosion or, indeed, weathering, as this would require an atmosphere
