Differential weathering is the difference in degree of discoloration, disintegration, etc., of rocks of different kinds exposed to the same environment. Quartz deposits in basaltic flows will weather slower than the surrounding rock, while being exposed to the same forces of weathering.
weather is precipitation rain, hail, snow, ice,e.g. weathering is the wearing away of rock
Mechanical weathering, Biological weathering and Chemical weathering.
can be good weather or bad weather so there is equal chance of both
Erosion and weathering.

differential weathering
forcasting is predicting the weather. Weathering is tempering the weather
Physical weathering
mechanical weathering applys weather
Hard rocks , such as granite, weather more slowly than softer rocks , such as limestone. Differential weathering happens when softer rocks weathers away and leaves harder, more resistant rock behind. The figures below show an example of how differential weathering can shape landscape.
The term erosion could be applied to the weathering of the surface of the earth. As water and the particulate matter it carries sweep over rocks, the softer ones will be worn away, will erode, more quickly than the harder ones. In the event of violent flooding when a massive increase in water flow churns river beds, rocks can be picked up and slammed together. Again it will be the softer materials that will be broken up more than the harder ones.
Mechanical weathering is the study of weather. Various types oh hyper machinery and satellites are used to predict weather.

If you meant weathering that is caused by water; physical weathering is the answer.
Physical Weathering (aka Mechanical Weathering) is the main type of weathering in deserts.
