Types of:
Erosion
- Glaciers carrying/dragging material
- Rivers carrying/dragging material
- Wind carrying/dragging material:
-Traction:Rocks rolling along the floor
-Saltation:Rocks bouncing along
-Suspension:Rocks being carrying in the air
Weathering
- Biological:
-Plant roots
-Animals burrowing
-(Break down of rocks in situ by organisms)
- Chemical:
-Acid rain: nitric acid; sulfuric acid (SO2 from factories and water); carbonic acid (CO2 and water)
- Physical:
-Wind
-Hail
-Exfoliation (constant change in heat causes rock to stretch to the point which it breaks apart into layers)

What type of force is weathering and erosion?
Although the terms are frequently used together, weathering and erosion are uniquely different. Weathering is the physical, chemical and biotic breakdown of a substance and erosion is how it is carried off. Ice, water and wind contribute to the erosion process.
