Why does weathering have to happen for erosion to happen?
Weathering is the process of rocks breaking down. Erosion is what moves the broken down rocks. There are four factors wind, moving water, wind, and gravity. Without weathering there would would be nothing for the Earth to erode.
Why is Weathering important to erosion?
weathering breaks down rocks, which makes the sediment easy to be transported
Are weathering and erosion the same process?
Both chemical and mechanical weathering breakdown a rock into particles, just in diffrent ways. Mechanical weathering is the physical weathering in which a rock is broken down into particles. Chemical weathering is the weathering in which rocks are disolved, decomposed , or loosend to change the minerals in the rock.
What are careers for weathering and erosion?
The agents for weathering and erosion are natural. I know off no career that would replace these natural agents. However, if you mean careers understanding or preventing them then Geology, Geography, farming and Engineering would be your choices.
What feature would be most more affected by wheathering?
The outer appearance of an object, such as its color, texture, or shape, would be most affected by weathering. Over time, exposure to the elements can cause fading, erosion, or degradation of these physical features.
What would not increase the effects of weathering and erosion?
trees and plants protect the earth from weathering and erosion

Are hurricanes a form of chemical weathering?
No, hurricanes are not a form of chemical weathering. Hurricanes are powerful tropical storms that form over warm ocean waters. They are driven by a combination of heat and moisture and can cause significant physical weathering through strong winds, heavy rainfall, and storm surges. Chemical weathering, on the other hand, involves the breakdown of rocks through chemical processes such as oxidation or dissolving.

When and where would you look for signs of weathering erosion or deposition in your community?
in bricks rocks

Why does weathering have to occur first then erosion?
Weathering breaks materialn down and erosion transports that broken down material. As an example, weathering breaks a mountain down into smaller rocks, and those smaller rocks can be transported by streams (erosion), but the streams cannot simply move the whole mountain.
Which layer of the soil profile would be affected the most by weathering and erosion?
Topsoil
Is it possible to have erosion without weathering?
No, erosion and weathering are closely related processes in the breakdown and transportation of rocks and soil. Weathering breaks down the material, making it easier for erosion to transport it away. In nature, erosion and weathering typically work together to shape the Earth's surface.
Which is not a major cause of erosion?
Globally you may have noticed that the world is not covered in glaciers (any more), so I would say that glaciers, due to how few they are, are the slightest cause of erosion, but note that where they do happen, they do cause fairly significant erosion as their sheer power is greater than that of any other erosive force, owing to the vast weight of the ice.
