Explanation:

1. Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on Earths surface. Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and minerals away.
2. Chemical weathering generally takes place in hot and humid areas where there is a lot of water. This is because water is important to many of the chemical reactions that can take place.
3. Burrowing animals help to loosen the surface materials around the rocks facilitating their physical disintegration. Upon death, the decaying physical also provide many chemicals and acids for rock disintegration. Vegetation : Roots of large trees reach deep into rocks and cause physical disintegration due to pressure.
4. The topmost layer is called the topsoil and is the most fertile. The removal of this topsoil is called soil erosion.
