How is weathering distinct from erosion and what are the key differences between the two processes?

Weathering is the process of breaking down rocks and minerals on the Earth's surface, while erosion is the movement of these broken down materials from one place to another. The key difference between weathering and erosion is that weathering occurs in place, causing rocks to break down, while erosion involves the transportation of these weathered materials by wind, water, or ice to a different location.
