What do mechanical and chemical weathering change on the earth?
Weathering in general, which I assume you mean, causes the general removal of material from the Earth, and transforms it into unconsolidated sediment which will ultimately be transported downwards, likely into an ocean or sea (although movement has nothing to do with weathering itself). The effect of this is that overall the earth become flatter. If there was no uplift occurring, the entire planet would be completely flat, and nothing would happen and life as we know it would not exist (and indeed life itself is highly less likely). Weathering mostly affects the highest points on earth in the most extreme environments, so it most affects mountains.
