Hurricanes cause erosion or weathering because, hurricanes are forms of large water. Water is one of the agents of weathering next to wind, ice and gravity. Water(in hurricanes) can pick up sediment and rock particles and spread them or move them into different places.

Why does weathering have to happen for erosion to happen?
Weathering is the process of rocks breaking down. Erosion is what moves the broken down rocks. There are four factors wind, moving water, wind, and gravity. Without weathering there would would be nothing for the Earth to erode.
What would earth look like if wasn't weathering and erosion?
The moon.
Which layer of the soil profile would be affected the most by weathering and erosion?
Topsoil
What are careers for weathering and erosion?
The agents for weathering and erosion are natural. I know off no career that would replace these natural agents. However, if you mean careers understanding or preventing them then Geology, Geography, farming and Engineering would be your choices.
What weathering and erosion would affect the piney woods ecoregion in Texas?
what weathering does is that weathering moves your soil or sediments and then when it hits a stream erosion happens and moves it down along the stream and then comes deposition and the sediment lands at a random spot.
What would cause the inscription on a marble gravestone to become harder to read over time?
EROSION. Not erosion . The answer it chemical weathering............;-)hismejohn
What would not increase the effects of weathering and erosion?
trees and plants protect the earth from weathering and erosion
2 What would cause the inscription on a marble gravestone to become harder and harder to read over time?
Erosion not erosion . The answer it Chemical Weathering..............:-)hismejohn
How are physical weathering and chemical weathering similar?
It would be easier to say how they are different. Both physical and chemical weathering can cause pitting, erosion of material and degradation of optical properties, making glass surfaces less reflective or transmissive.

in bricks rocks

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.
Are hurricanes a form of chemical weathering?
No. The effect on rock from the force of hurricane winds would be considered a type of mechanical (or physical) weathering.
