Erosion will cause the tops of mountains to become rounded after an extremely long time. An example of a new mountain range, with little erosion, would be the Himalayas in south-central Asia. An example of an eroded mountain range would be the Appalachians in eastern United States.
it can change the mountains size and or shape. for example, erosion could change a mountain to a hill
weathering and erosion most likely affect a mountain overtime by making the mountain shorter.
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.

Erosion and weathering affect many stones and mountains either way. Any more questions?
Stone Mountian in Atlanta Georgia
Stone Mountain formed from a granite pluton that solidified underground around 300 million years ago. Over time, erosion exposed the granite, resulting in the distinct dome-shaped structure we see today.
Stone Mountain was named for the large granite dome that dominates the landscape in the area. The rock is composed primarily of quartz monzonite, a type of granite, giving it a distinct, stony appearance. Its prominent features led early settlers to name it Stone Mountain.
