Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on Earths surface. Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and minerals away. ... Water, ice, acids, salts, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering.

- Weathering is the degradation of rocks, soils, minerals, wood, and manmade materials due to interaction with water, gases in the atmosphere, and living organisms.
- Weathering is distinct from erosion, which involves the transport of rocks and minerals by agents such as water, ice, snow, wind, waves, and gravity.
- Weathering occurs in situ (on site, with little or no movement) and should not be confused with erosion, which involves the transportation of rocks and minerals by agents such as water, ice, snow, wind, waves, and gravity.
- Physical and chemical weathering are two types of weathering processes.
- Physical weathering refers to the mechanical deterioration of rocks and soils caused by heat, water, ice, or other factors.
- Water, atmospheric gases, and biologically generated compounds react chemically with rocks and soils, resulting in chemical weathering.
- Physical and chemical weathering are mostly caused by water, while other factors like as atmospheric oxygen and carbon dioxide, as well as biological organisms' activities, have a role.
- Biological weathering is a term that refers to chemical weathering that occurs as a result of biological activity.
