Some agents of weathering are heat from the sun, plant and animal activity, freeze-thaw cycles, abrasion from windblown ice or water carried material, chemical weathering from acidic solutions such as acidic rain, and hydrolysis. The four main weathers agents are wind, ice, gravity, and water.
The agents of weathering include temperature, water, and gravity. Water causes the most weathering with ice, rain, and river movement causing stone to weather.

Why does weathering speed up the process of erosion?
Weathering breaks up rock into smaller particles which are more easily transported by the agents of erosion (wind, moving water, and moving ice).
What 4 agents are responsible for depositing sediment in the water?
There are four agents that are responsible for depositing sediment in the water. They are weathering, erosion, deposition, and snow.
Is erosion and weathering the same thing?
No, though they are often confused. Here are the definitions:Weathering: the wearing away of rocks in situErosion: the wearing away and taking away of rocks
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 are the 5 agents of weathering?
It is important to not that weathering does not involve movement of rock like in the case of erosion. The five agents of weathering are ice, water, waves, gravity and snow.
What is Wind and water are agents of?
Wind and water are agents of erosion
What are the main agents of change in the rock cycle?
temperture,pressure,weathering,and erosion.
What forms when agents of mechanical weathering break rocks into smaller pieces?
erosion
What are the main agents of changes in the rock cycle?
temperture,pressure,weathering,and erosion.
What are careers for weathering and erosion?
The agents for weathering and erosion are natural. I know off no career that would replace these natural agents. However, if you mean careers understanding or preventing them then Geology, Geography, farming and Engineering would be your choices.
What do all forms of erosion involve?
Erosion can be caused by rain, wind, glaciers, and other agents, but all forms of erosion involve weathering.
What basic part does weathering play in the erosion?
It breaks rock into smaller pieces that are more easily moved by the agents of erosion.
Why does weathering speed up the process of erosion?
Weathering breaks up rock into smaller particles which are more easily transported by the agents of erosion (wind, moving water, and moving ice).
What basic part does weathering play in the erosion process.?
It breaks rock into smaller pieces that are more easily moved by the agents of erosion.
What 4 agents are responsible for depositing sediment in the water?
There are four agents that are responsible for depositing sediment in the water. They are weathering, erosion, deposition, and snow.
What weathering agents caused formations such as the grand canyon?
Weathering is creating more material available for erosion and transportation by the Colorado River.
What is weathering and erosion and explain weathering and erosion?
weathering and erosion are steps that happen when it rains.
