Does weathering must take place before erosion?

Weathering does not necessarily have to take place before erosion. While weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller particles, erosion is the process of transporting these particles to a new location. Weathering can occur simultaneously with erosion or even after erosion has started.


Is ice and example of erosion or weathering?

Ice is an example of weathering. Weathering is the breakdown of rock into smaller pieces without any movement, while erosion involves the movement of these smaller pieces. Ice can break down rocks through processes like freeze-thaw cycles, which fracture rocks over time without transporting the material.


In what order do deposition weathering and erosion occur?

first the weathering happens which causes an erosion which makes deposition.


What are the regional effects on weathering erosion and deposition?

Regional factors such as climate, geology, topography, and vegetation can influence the rates and types of weathering, erosion, and deposition in an area. For example, a wet climate can accelerate chemical weathering, while a mountainous terrain can lead to increased erosion. Vegetation can help stabilize soil and reduce erosion rates. Ultimately, the complex interaction of these factors determines the overall landscape evolution in a region.


What is an example of chemical weathering affecting the rocks?

Rainwater is slightly acidic and will react with the calcium carbonate found in limestone and other rocks. The resultant erosion is an example of chemical weathering.


Why is the sediment load in a river an indicator of the amount of weathering and erosion?

Because the bigger the load is, more weathering and erosion there is. The less of it means less of weathering and erosion.


Why does weathering have to occur first then erosion?

Weathering breaks materialn down and erosion transports that broken down material. As an example, weathering breaks a mountain down into smaller rocks, and those smaller rocks can be transported by streams (erosion), but the streams cannot simply move the whole mountain.
