weathering happens before erosion because when a storm comes it washes away the soil and that causes the soil to erode.

What cause weathering but not erosion?

Weathering is the process of breaking down rocks into smaller particles without any movement, while erosion involves the removal and transportation of these particles to a different location. Factors such as temperature changes, chemical reactions, and biological processes can contribute to weathering without leading to erosion.


Is erosion another name for weathering?

Yes, erosion is a synonym of weathering.


What comes first weathering erosion deposition?

Does weathering must take place before erosion?

Weathering does not necessarily have to take place before erosion. While weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller particles, erosion is the process of transporting these particles to a new location. Weathering can occur simultaneously with erosion or even after erosion has started.


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.


In what order do deposition weathering and erosion occur?

first the weathering happens which causes an erosion which makes deposition.


Is erosion mechanical weathering?

No, erosion is the process of moving and transporting weathered material. Mechanical weathering involves physically breaking down rocks into smaller pieces without moving them. Erosion transports these smaller pieces to new locations.


Is ice and example of erosion or weathering?

Ice is an example of weathering. Weathering is the breakdown of rock into smaller pieces without any movement, while erosion involves the movement of these smaller pieces. Ice can break down rocks through processes like freeze-thaw cycles, which fracture rocks over time without transporting the material.


Do weathering and erosion happen at the same time?

Weathering and erosion are related processes that often occur simultaneously. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, while erosion transports these pieces to a different location. Both processes work together to shape the Earth's surface over time.


Why is the sediment load in a river an indicator of the amount of weathering and erosion?

Because the bigger the load is, more weathering and erosion there is. The less of it means less of weathering and erosion.
