Weathering is a process in which rocks are divided into or disintegrated or decomposed at or near the surface of the earth, into small fragments. weathering is a general term applied to the combined action of all precesses that cause rocks to disintegrate physically and decompose chemically.
Denudationis the long-term sum of processes that cause the wearing away of the earth’s surface leading to a reduction in elevation and relief of landforms and landscapes. Endogenetic processes such as volcanoes, earthquakes, and plate tectonics uplift and expose continental crust to the exogenetic denudation processes of weathering, erosion, and mass wasting.
Hence weathering is only one process of denudation and we can say that denudation is a blend of various processes like Weathering, Erosion, and mass wasting.
