How fast does weathering occur?
Weathering and erosion occur all the time even when mountains are forming
Do weathering and erosion happen at the same time?
not always but alot of the time they do occur at the same time it is possible
What are the time scale of the weathering process?
The time scale of the weathering process can be defined time - scales of erosion and sedimentary.
What causes mountains to become shorter over time?
weathering, and erosion
What type of weathering occurs to granite?
Granite is a very resilient type of rock and is not prone to much erosion. types of erosion that could occur to granite are acid rain, coastal erosion (weather and salt from the sea damaging it) and weather erosion. it would take an extremely long period of time for erosion to become apparent.

Can erosion and weathering happen any time?
Yes
How have sediments been transported over time?
By Weathering and erosion
Is it possible to have erosion without weathering?
weathering happens before erosion because when a storm comes it washes away the soil and that causes the soil to erode.
How do weathering and erosion work on mountains?
over time erosion eats away at the surface making it smoother
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 are minerals mixed up in a rock?
By weathering and erosion by the time and day

Mount St Helens lava composition?
After the eruption, with no ground cover, erosion (both wind and rain) was the main weathering agent. Most weathering is time dependent, more time, more weathering. Exposure to strong sunlight can also act as a weathering agent. Most of what could be weathered was ash and deadwood.
