How wind affect weathering?
Temperature•Thermal stressThermal stress weathering happens because of expansion or contraction of rock, caused by temperature changes. Termal stress weathering is an important system in deserts, where there is a large day temperature range, hot in the day and cold at night. The repeated heating and cooling applies stress on the outer layers of rocks, which can cause their outer layers to peel off in thin sheets.Water•Freeze-Thaw WeatheringFreeze-Thaw weathering is when water from rainfall or melting snow and ice becomes trapped in a crack or joint in the rock. If the air temperature drops below freezing, the water will freeze and expand by 9 -- 10% putting pressure on the rock. When the temperature rises above freezing the ice will melt. If this process happens repeatedly, the rock will weaken and eventually shatter into sharp fragments.
Why is the moons surface much more heavily cratered than earths surface?
A Biblical answer from Genesis 1 would be that in the beginning the Earth was covered with water. During creation week this water was separated into areas on the Earth and above the Earth. Like seas/lakes below and a "giant peel" of water above somewhere in the stratosphere. Any Meteors impacting the earth at first would fall in water, later go through the "peel of water". So only after the Flood Meteors that survived the Atmosphere would hit the Earth and leave a crater, hence less craters on Earth.
