The term erosion could be applied to the weathering of the surface of the earth. As water and the particulate matter it carries sweep over rocks, the softer ones will be worn away, will erode, more quickly than the harder ones. In the event of violent flooding when a massive increase in water flow churns river beds, rocks can be picked up and slammed together. Again it will be the softer materials that will be broken up more than the harder ones.
Differential Weathering or erosion is when softer rocks wear away and leave harder rocks behind.
Differential weathering is the process by which softer, less weather-resistant rocks wear away, leaving harder, more weather-resistant rocks behind.

weathering is the decay of the rocks of the earth's crust to the exposure to the atmosphere i.e., a process by which the rocks exposed on the surface get broken up into smaller particle. there are 2 types of weathering: 1.mechanical weathering 2.chemical weathering
Weathering, friction from soil motion, decay from time, water infiltration, insects and animals.
Why is erosion easier to see than weatheringHow can the process of erosion take placeWhat caused the weathering or erosion take placeWhere does weather erosion mostly take placeDoes weathering take place before or after erosionDoes weathering need to occur before erosion takes placeDoes weathering must take place before erosionWhy is weathering important to the process of erosionWhich process is faster erosion or weatheringWhat does ice have to do with the process of weathering and erosionB1TCH
No. It makes more surface available for chemical weathering, actually speeding up the weathering process.
Chemical weathering.
Differential weathering
Erosion.
it speeds up the weathering process
The action of rocks grinding against each other and wearing away exposed surfaces is abrasion. Differential weathering is a process by which softer, less weather-resistant rocks are worn away, leaving more weather-resistant rocks exposed.
The igneous rock must be exposed to weathering, whether it be chemical weathering, or mechanical weathering.
The process by which softer, less weather resistant rocks wear away and leave harder, more weather resistant rocks behind
It begins the process of weathering, involving physical and chemical attack.

Most canyons were formed by a process of long-time erosion from a plateau or table-land level. The cliffs form because harder rock strata that are resistant to erosion and weathering remain exposed on the valley walls.
THE WEATHERING PROCESS ......................... WHO KNOWS???
It is the process of weathering.
If you're talking about a natural process, I think it's decomposition. Breaking down exposed rock into smaller fragments could also be done by physical crushing.
