Uluru is affected by weathering and erosion from both wind and water. When it rains (and it does rain at Uluru), the action of the water running down the coarse sandstone removes tiny particles. Wind erosion is another factor in central Australia, where dust storms can occur on the flat plains surrounding Uluru.

What type of force is weathering and erosion?
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.
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 type of weathering process causes underground erosion?
Climate can affect weathering and erosion. The 2 factors include temperature and moisture. Warm climates favor chemical weathering while cold climates favor physical weathering. Dissolving Rock.
Is a mudslide a type of erosion or weathering?
I think it is an example of erosion, since erosion is the process that moves weathered material from one spot to a different one
What geologic process can change any type of rock into sediment?
Weathering and erosion
Is weathering a type of erosion?
Yes! Erosion is a type of Mechanical Weathering. Erosion made the Grand Canyon, and other landforms like it.
Is erosion a type of physical weathering?
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.
Which is one type of mechanical weathering?
Erosion
What type of weathering affects the size of the sample?
Physical weathering only affects the size of a sample.
Which type of weathering only affects the size of a sample?
Physical weathering only affects the size of a sample.
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 type of force is weathering and erosion?
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 three factors determine the type of soil that can develop in an area?
weathering ,erosion and biological weathering
