weathering
Weathering is the process by which rocks are broken down into smaller pieces, ultimately leading to the formation of soil. Erosion, on the other hand, is the transport of these weathered particles by wind, water, or ice. So, weathering transforms rock into soil, while erosion moves that soil to a new location.

oxidation causes iron to change color. oxidation causes rust.
weathering erosion transportation deposition compaction/cementation and lithification changes sediments to sedimentary rocks. High pressure and temperatures changes them to metamophic rocks
Chemical weathering is the type of weathering that causes the mineral composition of rocks to change. This process occurs when minerals in rocks react with elements in the environment, causing a chemical reaction that alters the rock's mineral composition over time.
Chemical weathering
The three main causes of weathering are physical weathering (e.g. wind, water, and ice), chemical weathering (e.g. oxidation and hydrolysis), and biological weathering (e.g. plant roots and burrowing animals). These processes break down rocks and minerals into smaller particles over time.
