GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on the Earth’s surface, erosion is the transportation or the movement of the weathered material and deposition is the dropping of off the weathered material.

Detailed explanation-2: -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, acids, salt, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering and erosion.

Detailed explanation-3: -Weathering, erosion, and deposition are processes continually at work on or near earth’s surface. Over time, these processes result in the formation of sedimentary rocks. Weathering occurs when rocks are broken down into smaller particles but not moved.

Detailed explanation-4: -Erosion and weathering are the processes in which the rocks are broken down into fine particles. Erosion is the process in which rock particles are carried away by wind and water. Weathering, on the other hand, degrades the rocks without displacing them.

Detailed explanation-5: -Erosion is one that most everyone is familiar with. This is the removal of sediment such as sand, silt or gravel, by wind or water. Weathering is the breaking down of rock material by things like heating and cooling, frost or crystal wedging, or chemicals, like acid in rain.
