Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Most weathering, however, is a slow process that happens over thousands or millions of years.

Some hard rock, like granite, wears away slowly, while softer rock like limestone, wears away much more quickly.

Detailed explanation-2: -This process happens really slowly. It may take over a million years to dissolve a rock. It doesn’t matter how big the rock is. With enough time, flowing water can dissolve it.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer. I think erosion is fast process. in weathering it takes a lot of time to crush the Rock.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sediment is created through the process of weathering, carried away through the process of erosion, and then dropped in a new location through the process of deposition.
