Weathering is a process that involves breaking up of rocks into smaller parts while erosion refers to the movement of soil from one place to another. The main difference between these two processes is that erosion takes place within a short period of time while weathering takes a longer period of time.

What is the the main process that shapes Earth's Surface?
Erosion by weathering.
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
What are the main agents of changes in the rock cycle?
temperture,pressure,weathering,and erosion.
What are the main agents of change in the rock cycle?
temperture,pressure,weathering,and erosion.
What shaped us through the years?
mainly the crust is shaped from two main reasons, erosion and weathering.
What are the main causes for the development of volcanoes and mountains and earthquake?
1. Weathering 2. Erosion 3. Deposition
What occurs during the weathering process?
There are 2 main processes of weathering, mechanical weathering and chemical weathering. In both processes the rocks are broken down. In the mechanical weathering process the rocks are simply made smaller. they are the same composition, just smaller pieces. In the process of chemical weathering the minerals in the rocks undergo a chemical change, they break down. This break down of minerals make them easier to erode. But, erosion is a different question.
What is the main difference between chemical and mechanical weathering?
SPELLING.
Why does deposition cause more change in landforms than weathering?
It doesn't. Weathering and erosion are the main reasons for the creation of landforms, e.g. stream valleys, canyons, arches, glacially polished surfaces, etc.
What process creates tiny particles from bedrock?
well it is very hard to break up bedrock, but the main process that does is weathering. You have two seperit kinds of weathering. The first one is Chemical Weathering. Chemical weathering is when weathering effects the exterior. two examples are rust and leaching. The second type of weathering is Mechanical Weathering. This effects rocks physically. two examples are abrasion and erosion.SO THE MAIN ANSWER WOULD BE WEATHERING. THE TYPE OF WEATHERING, MECHANICAL WEATHERING, THE PROCESS, ABRASION (well there is more than that but that is the most common situation)
What is the main type of weather in in the desert?
Physical Weathering (aka Mechanical Weathering) is the main type of weathering in deserts.
What are some kinds of chemical weathering?
the causes of chemical weathering is: erosion, water, oxygen, and living organisms.
