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.
What the earth looks like without weathering and erosion?
Without weathering and erosion, the Earth's surface would lack distinct features such as mountains, valleys, and coastlines. The land would essentially be smooth and flat, with fewer variations in elevation. Weathering and erosion are essential processes that shape the Earth's landscape over millions of years.
Why is Weathering important to erosion?
weathering breaks down rocks, which makes the sediment easy to be transported
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 3 processes act together to wear down and build up earths surface?
Erosion, weathering, and deposition are the three primary processes that work together to wear down and build up Earth's surface. Erosion involves the movement of sediment and rock particles by natural forces. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces. Deposition occurs when eroded material is deposited in new locations. Together, these processes shape Earth's landscapes over time.
What would not increase the effects of weathering and erosion?
trees and plants protect the earth from weathering and erosion

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.
Would Earth's surface be different without weathering and erosion?
Yes, without weathering and erosion, Earth's surface would look significantly different. These processes help shape our landscapes by breaking down rocks and transporting sediments, creating features like mountains, valleys, and coastlines. Without them, much of Earth's surface would remain unchanged over time.
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.
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
