Both are mechanical, physical changes, involving the removal of surface material by the action of wind or water. But both can also involve chemical changes which would tend to change the rate of erosion or weathering - for example, acidic rain might cause limestone to weather faster than neutral rain water would.

What geologic process can change any type of rock into sediment?
Weathering and erosion
Which process mass wasting erosion physical weathering or chemical weathering usually requires water?
chemical weathering
Is a cave weathering or erosion?
A cave is an agent of erosion. More specifically, chemical weathering forms caves.
Physical weathering and chemical weathering?
What you're saying is that the weathering and erosion is the process of science.
What process is the cause of groundwater erosion?
The process of groundwater erosion is chemical weathering
How can nature change the rock cycle?
By weathering and erosion. The types of weathering used is:physical weathering- when a plant grows inside a rock and the roots break it apart; abrasion- mechanical weathering - erosion- and chemical weathering - acid rain, water weathering and erosion.
How is weathering different than erosion?
weathering is part of erosion there are two types of erosion mechanical and chemical. chemical refers to elements such as oxygen and Iron which cause a chemical change such as rust and oxidation mechanical weathering is when rocks or materials are separated by water mass movement etc
What is the process that breaks down rocks chemically?
It's called chemical weathering. Think acid rain.

Is carbonic acid erosion?
it is chemical weathering
Is erosion chemical weathering?
No. Erosion usually involves the transportation of material from one place to another place. Chemical weathering involves the reaction of natural Earth materials with acidic fluids, causing dissolution.
What process is the cause of groundwater erosion?
The process of groundwater erosion is chemical weathering
Do erosion and weathering change the earth slowly?
Weathering and erosion certainly do change the Earth continuously but the speed of these processes varies considerably.
Does rust forming on a car body is a chemical reaction?
Rust is formed when iron reacts with oxygen in the air. It's not erosion, it's a chemical change called oxidation.
