Weathering is the breakdown of rocks at the Earth's surface, by the action of rainwater, extremes of temperature, and biological activity. It does not involve the removal of rock material. There are three types of weathering, physical, chemical and biological.

Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on Earths surface. ... Water, ice, acids, salts, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering. Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and mineral away
The three major ways weathering happens include chemical, physical, and mechanical weathering
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
How is Weathering different from Erosion?
- Weathering has no moving agent of transport, whereas in Erosion the rock and upper layer soil particles are worn away and moved elsewhere by water, wind, etc.
