Explanation:
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.

Answer:
Weathering describes the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on the surface of the Earth.
Weathering is caused by the effects of changing temperature on rocks, causing the rock to break apart and sometimes when water continually seeps into cracks, freezes and expands, eventually breaking the rock apart.
