Answer 1

Answer:

Weathering is a process by which rocks are broken down into smaller pieces so that they can be taken away by agents of erosion such as wind, air or ice. Rainfall, heat and moisture are the 3 main factors which affect the rate of weathering and soil erosion. Weathering happens more quickly in hot and wet climates.
