Answer 1

$<marque>$

❄︎Weathering : the action of the weather conditions in altering the color, texture, composition, or form of exposed objects specifically : the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of earth materials at or near the earth's surface.

Weathering happens through processes or sources in the environment, including events like wind and objects like the roots of plants. Weathering is either mechanical, in which rocks are broken down through an external force, or chemical, which means rocks are broken down through a chemical reaction and change.❄︎
