Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, while erosion transports these pieces to new locations. Weathering can be physical (e.g. freezing and thawing) or chemical (e.g. acids dissolving minerals), weakening the rock structure. Erosion, through processes like water or wind movement, carries away the weathered rock fragments, reshaping the landscape over time.
Weathering can continue to affect the rounded rock by breaking it down into smaller pieces through processes such as mechanical weathering (e.g., erosion by wind and water) and chemical weathering (e.g., acidic rain dissolving minerals). Over time, the rounded rock can be further worn down and its surface features changed by these weathering processes.
A cave is typically formed through a combination of weathering and erosion. Weathering breaks down the rock material, while erosion removes it, creating a void in the rock that can develop into a cave over time.
Yes, weathering and erosion affect all rocks on Earth's surface to some extent. Weathering breaks down rock into smaller pieces, while erosion transports these pieces to new locations. These processes are constant and can shape the landscape over time.
Caves are typically formed by a combination of erosion and weathering. Erosion from water, wind, and ice can wear away rock formations, while weathering processes such as chemical weathering can dissolve minerals in the rock, creating openings that can eventually form caves over time.
Rock flour is a product of both weathering and erosion processes. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller particles, while erosion transports these particles to another location. Rock flour is created when rocks are weathered into very fine particles, which are then transported by erosion processes such as glacial movement or river flow.
Human activities influence different factors that affect the rock cycle, for example, soil erosion and weathering. Human activity such as mining affects rocks' weathering, affecting the rock cycle. Other human activities such as farming affect soil erosion, and soil erosion is a factor that affects the rock cycle.
Any and all rock can be changed into sediment by weathering and erosion.
By weathering and erosion. The types of weathering used is:physical weathering- when a plant grows inside a rock and the roots break it apart; abrasion- mechanical weathering - erosion- and chemical weathering - acid rain, water weathering and erosion.

Erosion of igneous and metamorphic rock
Metamorphic rock can be transformed into sediments through the processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition. Weathering breaks down the rock into smaller pieces, erosion transports these pieces to new locations, and deposition settles the sediments in layers. Over time, these sediment layers can be compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rock.
