Weathering describes the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on the surface of the Earth. Water, ice, acids, salts, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering. Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and mineral away.
One of the factors that affects the rate of weathering is exposure to the atmosphere. Rocks that are fully exposed to the atmosphere and environmental elements, such as wind, water and temperaturefluctuations, will weather more rapidly than those covered by ground.
