Explanation:

Erosion relies on transporting agents such as wind, rivers, ice, snow and downward movement of materials to carry weathered products away from the source area. As weathered products are carried away, fresh rocks are exposed to further weathering. Over time, that mountain or hill is gradually worn down

Answer:

1. Weathering is a term that describes the general process by which rocks on the Earth's surface break down into things like sediments, clays, soils, and substances dissolved in water.

2. The process of weathering usually begins when the Earth's crust is uplifted by tectonic forces. After the physical breakdown and chemical breakdown of exposed rocks by weathering, the loose rock fragments, and transformation products are carried away by the process of erosion.

3. Erosion consists of the transport of agents such as wind, rivers, ice, snow, and the downward movement of materials that carry weathered products away from the source area.

4. There are two types of weathering:

  • (a) Chemical weathering is the result of chemical reactions between minerals in rocks and external agents such as air or water. Oxygen oxidizes minerals into alteration products, while water can transform minerals into clays or dissolve minerals completely.
  • (b) Physical weathering is when rocks are broken into pieces by mechanical processes such as rock fracturing, freezing and thawing, or breaking during transport by rivers or glaciers.
