Weathering and erosion very rarely takes minuets for weathering and erosion to take effect. It usually takes millions of years for a rock to get weathered and eroded.

Does weathering must take place before erosion?

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


How long does it take for the effects of mechanical weathering to be noticeable in rocks?

It takes a long time.


Are weathering and erosion the same process?

Both chemical and mechanical weathering breakdown a rock into particles, just in diffrent ways. Mechanical weathering is the physical weathering in which a rock is broken down into particles. Chemical weathering is the weathering in which rocks are disolved, decomposed , or loosend to change the minerals in the rock.


Where does erosion take place?

Erosion can occur on land or in water. It is usually caused by weathering from the sun or prolonged contact with water. For example, sand is composed of eroded rocks that over time have ground down to the granules that you see as sand. Wind and water contributed to the erosion of the rocks that make up sand..


What caused the weathering or erosion take place?

Your mom and moning


When does deposition begin to take place?

Right after weathering and erosion


Where does weathering of a rock take place?

Weathering of rocks occur on the outer surface.


Are weathering and erosion dependent on each other?

Weathering is the physical wearing down of rock or the earth, and erosion is the movement of the particles loosened by weathering. Weathering can be either mechanical or chemical. For chemical weathering to occur, a chemical reaction needs to occur in the ground, causing it to wear away. Mechanical weathering can include: freezing and thawing (water gets into ground and when it freezes it pushes the rock out), abrasion (force rubbing up against surface, such as water, which is why rocks in a river are so smooth), thermal weathering (rocks expand in very hot climates), salt wedges (rain with salt water in it falls into cracks between a rock and when the water dissolves, the salt is left behind pushing the rock outward), and animal activity (burrowing in the ground). Erosion would take place after one of these processes had, and it carries the weathered particles away by wind or water.


Why the process of weathering are interconnected?

Weathering, erosion , transportation and deposition are all interconnected. They are processes which take place in an order in a sequence in nature. Once the rocks are disintegrated they are carried away by the agents of erosion and then they are transported to different areas. Eventually when they reach any depression, they deposit the materials or sediments there.....finally we can say that these processes are interconnected.


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.
