Weathering breaks up rock into smaller particles which are more easily transported by the agents of erosion (wind, moving water, and moving ice).

What process breaks rocks down into smaller pieces?
The process called weathering is responsible for the breaking up and wearing away of the Earth's rocks. The broken up rocks are then carried away by the process of erosion.
What two conditions speed up the process of chemical weathering?
hot and wet conditions
How is erosions and weathering different?
Weathering brakes up rock. Erosion removes the broken up pieces.
Is eroding natural?
Erosion is a natural process, but human actions can speed it up significantly.
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 process of erosion and how is it related to weathering?
Weathering breaks up the substance, and erosion causes it to move.
The process that build up sediment over millions of years is?
Weathering, erosion, and deposition.
Does hot humid weathering speed up chemical weathering process?
Yes, heat speeds up most processes including chemical weathering. Humidity and moisture likewise contribute to a speeding up of the weathering process.
Can you describe the process that wears down and builds up the earths surface?
weathering, erosion, deposition, and uplift
What 3 processes act together to wear down and build up earths surface?
Uplift replaces rocks on Earth's surface lost the process of erosion.
What process breaks rocks down into smaller pieces?
The process called weathering is responsible for the breaking up and wearing away of the Earth's rocks. The broken up rocks are then carried away by the process of erosion.
What is the process by which wind picks up sediments?
Its a type of erosion, specifically Abrasion, which is a material weathering away at a soild (the rock), and since the wind carries it away, it is Erosion.
What two conditions speed up the process of chemical weathering?
hot and wet conditions
How does vegetation slow and speed up the process of erosion?
Vegitation slows the process of eriosion by growing in areas where erosion occurs and blocking the movement of weathered rock.
How is erosions and weathering different?
Weathering brakes up rock. Erosion removes the broken up pieces.
What is the main different between weathering and erosion?
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.
Is eroding natural?
Erosion is a natural process, but human actions can speed it up significantly.
