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.

What kind of force is weathering and erosion?
abrasion
What is the force that slowly wears away at rocks?
Weathering, or erosion changes the Earth's surface slowly over time.
In what order do deposition weathering and erosion occur?
first the weathering happens which causes an erosion which makes deposition.
Is frost wedging an example of erosion?
No. Frost wedging is a type of weathering.
Physical weathering is the type of weathering in which only a materials size or shape is changed?
Yes. Physical weathering is erosion caused by wind, dust, rain, flowing water, collapses, impacts, freezing/thawing, or glaciers.
What geologic process can change any type of rock into sediment?
Weathering and erosion
Does erosion apply force?
Yes. Erosion is weathering. It's can apply force but doesn't have to.
Is weathering a type of erosion?
Yes! Erosion is a type of Mechanical Weathering. Erosion made the Grand Canyon, and other landforms like it.

How can erosion cause weathering?
Erosion does not cause weathering. Erosion is a TYPE of weathering in which surface soil and rock are worn away through the action of glaciers, water, and wind.
What type of rocks can be affected by weathering and erosion?
Any type of rock that is at or near the surface could be affected by weathering and erosion. Mountains are eventually flattened; caves are formed underground. Both are the result of weathering and erosion.
Water erosion is a type of?
water erosion is a type of weathering caused by water.
What is a destructive force on Earth?
weathering and erosion that is all i know
Which is one type of mechanical weathering?
Erosion
Which type of rock appear to be the least resistant to weathering and erosion?
Carbonate rocks, such as limestone, tend to be the least resistant to weathering and erosion.
What is weathering and erosion and explain weathering and erosion?
weathering and erosion are steps that happen when it rains.
