Question

define erosion and weathering? how erosion is different from weathering?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

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. Water, acids, salt, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering and erosion.

When the smaller rock pieces (now pebbles, sand or soil) are moved by these natural forces, it is called erosion. So, if a rock is changed or broken but stays where it is, it is called weathering. If the pieces of weathered rock are moved away, it is called erosion.

Answer 2

Answer:

Erosion - The removal of land surface by water, wind, ice etc. is called erosion.

Weathering - The process by which breakdown of rocks occurs is called weathering.

The difference between Erosion and weathering is that erosion occur in soil while weathering occurs in rocks.
