Answer:
Weathering is a short-term process, while denudation is a long-term process that takes years to occur.
The weathering process causes the disintegration of rock, while denudation results in the wearing of all parts of the Earth's surface.
Weathering is just one part of the denudation process, along with erosion and mass wasting, and can be considered as the first stage of denudation.
Weathering is caused by temperature changes, wind, rain, bacteria, and plants, whereas denudation is caused by volcanoes, earthquakes, and plate tectonics.
