distinguish between Weathering and erosice
Answers
erosion is taking away of land part by means of air,water etc. whereas weathering is developing of holes or cracks in rocks due to intense temperature change
Weathering
disintegration or alteration of rock in its natural or original position at or near the Earth’s surface through physical, chemical, and biological processes.
Types of Weathering
There are two basic types of weathering, mechanical weathering and chemical weathering.
•Mechanical weathering (physical weathering) makes rocks crumble.
•Chemical weathering changes rock or soil molecular structure.
Erosion
the process by which soil and rock particles are worn away and moved elsewhere by gravity, wind, water or ice.
Types of Erosion
If you look at examples of erosion, you’ll see that there aren’t necessarily types of erosion, but different methods of erosion.
•Bioerosion - Plant growth breaks up and moves soil or rocks.
•Ice erosion (glacial erosion) - Glaciers moved by gravity carry sediment away.
•Liquid water erosion - Rain and bodies of water carry or wash away sediment.
•Mass wasting - Rocks and soil are moved downward from events like landslides.
•Wind erosion - Wind carries sediment away.
