The change undergone is physical only. The definition of weathering is the wearing away of rocks in situ. Weathering causes the rocks to "break down", but mostly not to chemically change (the exception being limestone in acid rain).

How does weathering and erosion shape earths surface?

Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, while erosion transports these pieces to new locations. Over time, these processes can create features like valleys, canyons, and coastlines, shaping the Earth's surface.


How does weathering shape earths surface?

changes by the moving air. when weathering moves things around apperances start to change. then, we change it to by moving things like rocks and grass and we change the earth.


What is the process that breaks up rock on earths surface?

Weathering is the process that breaks up rocks on Earth's surface. This can occur through physical processes like freezing and thawing, as well as chemical processes like acid rain and oxidation. Over time, weathering can break down rocks into smaller particles and ultimately contribute to soil formation.

How does weathering erosion and deposition change earths surface?

Weathering and erosion change Earth's surface by slowly wearing down the substance. Deposition changes the surface of earth by deposting; eroding away the surface. Glad to help! -Angela
