Processes of erosion and weathering occur as long as the following are secured:
- There is heat from the sun (for the water cycle to take place, as well as for wind to be possible
- There is material above the surface of the oceans (for the processes to take place on, otherwise the processes will either be slow or non-existent, especially if there was no moon)
- There must be life for some types of weathering to happen
I hope this answers your question.
What else can I help you with?
Does weathering must take place before erosion?
Weathering does not necessarily have to take place before erosion. While weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller particles, erosion is the process of transporting these particles to a new location. Weathering can occur simultaneously with erosion or even after erosion has started.
What geologic process can change any type of rock into sediment?
Weathering and erosion
What is it called when rocks are broken down by water wind ice and heat?
The process of rocks being broken down by water, wind, ice, and heat is known as weathering. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces over time through physical or chemical means.
Is weathering the same as a erosion?
No it is not. Erosion is a constant state of wear on a subject by the same force.. where as weathering is the consistant battering of a subject by differnent forces..causing both to change is shape and form and texture.
How is erosion different from weathering, and what specific processes does erosion involve that weathering does not?
Erosion is the process of moving weathered material from one place to another, while weathering is the breakdown of rocks and minerals in place. Erosion involves transportation of the weathered material by agents like water, wind, or ice, which weathering does not.
When uplifted rocks reach the earths weathering erosion and deposition begin?
when uplifted rocks reach the Earth's Surface, weathering, erosion, and deposition begin
What are the process that cause earths surface to wear down?
Weathering and erosion
Which process makes sediments weathering or erosion?
Erosion
What is the process that break down rock called?
Weathering or erosion.
When does deposition begin to take place?
Right after weathering and erosion
What process change landform?
weathering and erosion

What geologic process can change any type of rock into sediment?
Weathering and erosion
What is the process that carrys away sediments?
Weathering and erosion
In what order do deposition weathering and erosion occur?
first the weathering happens which causes an erosion which makes deposition.
When uplifted rocks reach the earth's blank weathering erosion and deposition begin?
When uplifted rocks reach the earth's surface, weathering, erosion, and deposition begin. Weathering breaks down the rocks into smaller pieces, erosion transports these pieces to new locations, and deposition deposits these pieces in new locations. These processes continually reshape the Earth's surface over time.
What is the weathering of the earth's surface called?
The weathering of the Earth's surface is called erosion. Erosion is the process by which soil and rock are removed and transported by wind, water, or ice.
