Weathering consists of the chemical or mechanical processes that break down rock into smaller and smaller pieces and particles. Smaller pieces of rock are more easily transported by the agents of erosion: moving water, air, and ice.

Look in a stream or river after a lot of rain and you will see lots of particles being transported downstream eventually to reach a lake or sea. These are tiny bits of rock which have been eroded from hills or mountains. If a spoonful of sediment passes by in a few seconds, how much would pass in a year, or a thousand years, or a million years?

Millions of tons of sediment are worn from the high ground and deposited lower down every year.
