Weathering is part of the rock why or why not?
Weathering is the process by which matter is taken off of an object. It is NOT part of an object. It is basically another word for erosion.
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 and erosion happen?
I think weathering happens because you need weathering water is part of weathering.
What process forms the decomposed organic material or humus that is a part of soil?
Erosion describes the process that forms the decomposed organic material that is called humus and that is part of soil. It operates by wearing down the material through weathering. The weathering reflects the predominant influences of water or of wind in nature.
What parts of the Rock cycle occur at the Earth's surface?
Mostly the sedimentary part which involves the process of weathering, and diagenesis occurs at the earths surface.
What is the longest part of the rock cycle?
Weathering and erosion is the longest part.
What is wear on a part?
It depends on what specific part. Or what object is wearing but generally it is called weathering or erosion. Weathering can be either chemical or natural. ;)

What has the most impact on the formation of a sinkhole erosion weathering or deposition?
weathering because the main cause of a sinkhole is mostly rain which is a part of weathering
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
How is deposition a part of the erosion process?
The part of the erosion process in which sediment is placed in a new location, or deposited.
What part of the rock cycle wears down earth's surface?
Weathering and erosion.
