Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Erosion is the geological process in which earthen materials are worn away and transported by natural forces such as wind or water.
Detailed explanation-3: -Wind can cause weathering by blowing grains of sand against a rock, while rain and waves cause weathering by slowly wearing rock away over long periods of time.
Detailed explanation-4: -Three agents of physical weathering that can cause abrasion are moving water, wind and gravity.
Detailed explanation-5: -Erosion occurs when rock particles are moved by an external force or agent. The agents of erosion are ice, water, wind, waves and gravity.
