Erosion involves the transport of weathered material by natural forces like water, wind, or glaciers. One process that occurs only as a result of erosion and not weathering is the physical movement and relocation of sediment, rock fragments, or soil from one place to another. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, while erosion is responsible for carrying these smaller pieces to new locations.

Which stages of the rock cycle involves physical changes?
the weathering and erosion of rock to form sedimentsthe compaction and cementation of sediments to form sedimentary rockthe cooling of magma to form igneous rockthe melting of rock to form magmaI, II, IV and V only (Study Island)
Does mechanical weathering add the effectiveness of chemical weathering?
it will be influenced, because chemical happens in warm wet area, while are only happens in cold areas :) :) :) :) ONLY A DIRECTIONER WILL IMPROVE IT FOR PUTTING DIRECTIONER FOREVER AND PAULWAYS :) :) :) :) ~Alexia Escutia
Which factors most often cause erosion deposition and weathering?
The four means of erosion are:Fluvial (including rivers)MarineGlacialAeolian (wind)The greatest cause of erosion is debatable, but I believe the greatest factor in erosion is the sea/ocean (Marine) as this causes vast coastal recession, and in this way there is more material eroded than by any other process, but Fluvial is also a major cause. As a result of marine action, eroded fragments do not need to travel far: they only need to fall from a cliff face onto the beach or the sea-bed to count as deposited.The greatest cause of weathering is probably biological weathering, although this is debated. I think this is the greatest cause because there are biological life-forms all over the Earth, and many of these cause weathering. Most other weathering processes rely on extreme environments and exposition to the elements.
What property of water cause erosion?
Only the action of erosion causes erosion, but water itself causes weathering:ErosionOceansRiversGlaciersWeatheringFreeze-thawSolution (Dissolving)Acid RainWater has no particular property which causes erosion, but its properties do cause weathering: when it freezes it expands, hence freeze-thaw weathering; it is a good solvent, hence it can dissolve soluble minerals, as well as acid, causing acid rain.
What is likely to be most affected by weathering caused by wind?
Rock formations, building exteriors, and soil erosion are all likely to be most affected by weathering caused by wind. Wind can break down rocks and structures over time through mechanical weathering, as well as erode soil by carrying away particles.
How is erosoin different to weathering?
Weathering is different from erosion because it breaks things down. Then erosion carries it away....:) hope i answered your question only thing is I'm learning that in fifth grade right now.
What effect does weathering and erosion have on the rock cycle?
Weather and erosion only mark a rock. They leave lines /patterns and eventualy work into it.
Why is there no weathering and erosion in the moon?
The Moon does not have an atmosphere or running water, which are essential for weathering and erosion processes on Earth. Without these agents, there is no mechanism for breaking down rocks or transporting sediment on the Moon. Additionally, the Moon's surface is not subjected to the same level of geological activity as Earth, further limiting weathering and erosion.
Physical weathering is the type of weathering in which only a materials size or shape is changed?
Physical weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition. It is caused by factors such as temperature changes, abrasion from wind or water, and ice formation in cracks.
What type of rock can be made from metamorphic rock?
Only sedimentary rock by the weathering, erosion and subsequent deposition of material from the metamorphic rock.
Where is the place where erosion is most likely to happen?
Everywhere as erosion happens due to wind, water and humans. Only it happens at different rates, some fast and some slow.
Why does erosion take place on the crust?
Because erosion only takes place on land
Are fossils the only things that form sand in the deserts?
Sand is composed of small rock particles derived from larger particles which have undergone weathering and erosion.

How do human activities affect the natural process of erosion?
Humans have no effect on wind erosion.Humans are causing global warming, which is then changing the climate. This may mean that wind direction and strength changes, which might cause more or less erosion, but that is the only way humans can affect wind erosion.

Erosion can wear away which type of rocks?
Erosion can wear away all types of rocks, but it is more effective on softer rocks such as sandstone and limestone compared to harder rocks like granite and basalt. The rate of erosion depends on the rock's hardness, composition, and resistance to weathering.
