Answer:
- Weathering denotes the process of wearing, breaking up, and fragmentation of the rock that creates the surface of the ground and that remains exposed to the weather.
- Weathering is the initial stage in the formation of soil.
- It produces other natural resources, for instance, clay which is used for making bricks.
- Another importance is weathering weakens rocks making them easier for people to exploit, for example, by mining and quarrying
- This process is accountable for the fragmentation of the rocks into smaller fragments and making the way for the creation of not only soils and regolith, but also mass movements and erosion.
- Erosion cannot be useful if the rocks are not weathered.
