differentiate weathering and erosion
pls answer it
Answers
Answer:-
Erosion and weathering are the processes in which the rocks are broken down into fine particles. Erosion is the process in which rock particles are carried away by wind and water. Weathering, on the other hand, degrades the rocks without displacing them.
Answer:
Erosion
1) Erosion refers to the displacement of the solids through wind, water and ice.
2) The eroded materials are displaced in the case of erosion.
3) The several types of erosion include water, wind, thermal, ice and gravity erosion
4) Wind, ice, water, and human activities are some of the major causes of erosion.
Weathering
1) Weathering refers to the decomposition of the rocks, soil and minerals through direct contact with the atmosphere.
2) The weathered materials are not displaced in the case of weathering.
3) The several types of weathering include the physical, chemical and biological weathering
4) Weathering is caused because of the atmospheric factors like air pressure.
