EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and mineral away. No rock on Earth is hard enough to resist the forces of weathering and erosion. Together, these processes carved landmarks such as the Grand Canyon, in the U.S. state of Arizona.

Detailed explanation-2: -Weathering is the mechanical and chemical hammer that breaks down and sculpts the rocks. Erosion transports the fragments away. Working together they create and reveal marvels of nature from tumbling boulders high in the mountains to sandstone arches in the parched desert to polished cliffs braced against violent seas.

Detailed explanation-3: -The action of erosion can create an array of coastal landscape features. For example, erosion can bore holes that form caves. When water breaks through the back of the cave, it can create an arch. The continual pounding of waves can cause the top of the arch to fall, leaving nothing but rock columns called sea stacks.

Detailed explanation-4: -How do weathering and erosion affect Earth’s surface? Weathering and erosion work together continuously to wear down and carry away the rocks at Earth’s surface.

Detailed explanation-5: -There will be NO topography, no ice, no winds, no water, no river, no lakes, no aquifer, no seas, no ocean. Minerals would get scarce, no more will be deposited. There will be no sediments for rooting of the plants, if plants cannot grow so there will be no photosynthesis on the universe because of no plantation.
