The weathering of the Earth's surface is known as corrosion?
No, it's known as erosion. Corrosion is the weathering of things like metal and glass.
What two things can cause changes in the minerals making up rocks?
chemical weathering
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.
What is Weathering is what type of force?
weathering is basically erosion. It's the the effect that wind, rain and other elements of nature affect things. The grand canyon is a result of weather. large floods eroded the soil that it went over to create it.
Has pollution altered living things?
Pollution has had a great impact on living things. Fish that live in polluted water have had to alter the foods that they eat to survive.
How does weathering and erosion affect living things?
I don't know LOL
How do beach waves impact on living things?
waves impact living things by the constant erosion of the water on the gravel either creating or destroying habitats.
How can biological weathering cause problems?
Weathering of any kind can sometimes cause problems, like erosion of topsoil. Biological weathering, where the weathering is caused by living things (plants and animals), can cause the same kinds of problems.
How does living things affect weathering?
Weather has a huge impact on non-living things. A place that has a lot of rain will likely erode rocks in the area for example.
What 2 things work together in the Weathering?
Erosion and deposition.
How do tornadoes impact non living things?
Tornadoes damage and destroy manmade structures and can cause some soil erosion.

What are good things about erosion and weathering?
It is good because it can move things around and make them smaller for space.
How does air in living things cause chemical weathering?
It doesn't. If it is IN a living thing it is not available to cause weathering elsewhere!
How is erosoin different to weathering?
Weathering is different from erosion because it breaks things down. Then erosion carries it away....:) hope i answered your question only thing is I'm learning that in fifth grade right now.
