Is a cave weathering or erosion?
A cave is an agent of erosion. More specifically, chemical weathering forms caves.
Which is not a factor that affects the rate in weathering rocks?
There are not many factors which do not affect weathering in rocks.Two factors do not affect weathering are:Wind, sea and river erosion does not have any impact. No erosive processes cause weathering directly. Glaciers, however, may influence the climate of a region to the extent that more freeze-thaw weathering occursThe rock cycle does not affect weathering. This includes all actions and movements of rocks, though uplift and fault movement may cause more exposure to weathering, which may increase the rate of weathering
How does weathering change erosion?
Weathering leaves more pieces behind, which eventually lets the rock stick the pieces back to itself, giving erosion a bigger job since the rock keeps growing.
What can be done to minimize the processes of weathering and erosion processes?
Well, certain precautions should be taken. Barriers such as dikes can help to reduce beach erosion. Another example is planting more vegetation to prevent topsoil erosion. Basically, the method of prevention depends on the specific type of weathering or erosion.

Why is the sediment load in a river an indicator of the amount of weathering and erosion?
Because the bigger the load is, more weathering and erosion there is. The less of it means less of weathering and erosion.
Is a cave weathering or erosion?
A cave is an agent of erosion. More specifically, chemical weathering forms caves.
Which is more resistant to weathering a rock or sand?
Rock is far more resistant to weathering (erosion) than sand.
Does deoosition cause more change to landforms than weathering?
no because deposition is one of the processes in erosion and the steps are erosion depositon weathering and dropping but erosion changes under ground and more rapidly hope its right just learned in school
Why does weathering speed up the process of erosion?
Weathering breaks up rock into smaller particles which are more easily transported by the agents of erosion (wind, moving water, and moving ice).
Why do some places have more weathering and erosion than other?
I really do not know!
What basic part does weathering play in the erosion?
It breaks rock into smaller pieces that are more easily moved by the agents of erosion.
How do earthquakes contribute to weathering and erosion?
Earthquakes can crumble and fracture rock structures, exposing more of their surface to weathering and erosion. They might sometimes cause tsunamis or make water go crazy

What weathering agents caused formations such as the grand canyon?
Weathering is creating more material available for erosion and transportation by the Colorado River.
