Weathering is the physical wearing down of rock or the earth, and erosion is the movement of the particles loosened by weathering. Weathering can be either mechanical or chemical. For chemical weathering to occur, a chemical reaction needs to occur in the ground, causing it to wear away. Mechanical weathering can include: freezing and thawing (water gets into ground and when it freezes it pushes the rock out), abrasion (force rubbing up against surface, such as water, which is why rocks in a river are so smooth), thermal weathering (rocks expand in very hot climates), salt wedges (rain with salt water in it falls into cracks between a rock and when the water dissolves, the salt is left behind pushing the rock outward), and animal activity (burrowing in the ground). Erosion would take place after one of these processes had, and it carries the weathered particles away by wind or water.

How does sedimentary rock and igneous rock form?
Sedimentary rock is formed from different sediments (rock, dirt, bits of each, etc.), over time, pushed and pressured into a solid, a rock. Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling of lava, which is rock anyway, only melted.Example of Sedimentary- sandstoneExample of Igneous- obsidian

Has Peyton Manning and Brett Favre ever played each other?
they played each other in 2004
Can all rocks form into each other?
Yes. Through weathering & erosion or heat & pressure.
How are weathering and erosion different from each other?
Weathering refers to the breakdown of rocks into smaller fragments through processes like mechanical, chemical, or biological processes. Erosion, on the other hand, involves the movement and transport of these weathered materials by wind, water, ice, or gravity from their original location to another place. Weathering breaks down rocks, while erosion transports the broken-down material.
Can a rock cause a erosion?
Yes, rocks can cause erosion through physical weathering processes such as abrasion, where rocks rub against each other and wear each other down. Additionally, rocks can create obstacles in river channels, leading to increased water flow and erosion.
What are all the forms of erosion?
All forms of erosion are weathering, mass movement, I am not positive if deposition is one of them. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. If I am wrong I apologize in advance. ;)
How do weathering and erosion relate to each other in the process of shaping the Earth's surface?
Weathering and erosion are interconnected processes that work together to shape the Earth's surface. Weathering breaks down rocks and minerals into smaller pieces through physical, chemical, or biological means. These smaller pieces are then transported and deposited by erosion, which is the movement of these weathered materials by wind, water, or ice. Over time, the combination of weathering and erosion can create landforms such as valleys, canyons, and coastlines, ultimately shaping the Earth's surface.
Why rocks are broken down?
Rocks are broken down through a process called weathering, which can be caused by physical factors (such as wind, water, and ice) or chemical factors (such as acid rain and plant roots). Over time, weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces through erosion, creating sediment that can be transported by natural processes like water or wind.
Do earth's spheres interact with each another?
Yes, Earth's spheres interact with each other in various ways. For example, the geosphere (solid Earth) influences the hydrosphere (water) through erosion and sedimentation, while the atmosphere interacts with the lithosphere through weathering and erosion. These interactions are essential for maintaining Earth's systems and processes.

What is the place where two rock formations occur next to each other?
A place where two rock formations occur next to each other is called a rock boundary or an outcrop. This is where the edges of two distinct rock formations meet and are often visible due to erosion or weathering.
Are outcomes in binomial distributions dependent on each other?
No.
Can mountains grow or shrink?
Mountains can both grow and shrink over long periods of time due to tectonic forces such as plate movement and erosion. The process of mountain growth usually occurs over millions of years when tectonic plates push against each other, forcing the Earth's surface to rise. On the other hand, mountains can shrink through erosion caused by weathering and other natural processes that wear down their surfaces.
What does it mean to be inter-dependent?
Dependent on each other. Both parties have a dependency on one another.
