Water (djcuri)
Water is the largest cause of weathering and erosion, as it can wear away rocks and soil over time through processes like freeze-thaw cycles, running water, and wave action. This constant movement and breakdown of materials by water contribute significantly to shaping Earth's surface.
Weathering and erosion
Wind and water are the major causes of weathering and erosion.

Weathering can cause erosion if no safety measures are taken.

mechanical weathering
Erosion can cause weathering by wearing down rocks and transporting particles, exposing them to different environmental conditions. This exposes the rocks to more physical and chemical processes that contribute to their breakdown and eventual disintegration, leading to weathering.
Tornadoes do not cause significant weathering, though they can cause localized soil erosion.
Wind and weathering can cause glacier erosion.
Weathering and Erosion.
Erosion and weathering are interrelated processes that work together to break down and transport rock material. While erosion physically removes the material from its original location, weathering breaks it down chemically or physically. The combined effects of both erosion and weathering can cause significant changes to the Earth's landscape over time.
