GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Weathering is the process of breaking up of rocks on the earth’s surface.

Detailed explanation-3: -Weathering is the action of components of weather and climate materials over Earth. There are several processes within weathering which act either independently or together to affect the materials of the earth in order to cut them to fragmental state.

Detailed explanation-4: -Weathering is the breakdown of rocks at the Earth’s surface, by the action of rainwater, extremes of temperature, and biological activity. It does not involve the removal of rock material. There are three types of weathering, physical, chemical and biological.

Detailed explanation-5: -Weathering is the process of breaking down of rocks but not its removal. It is described as disintegration or decomposition of a rock in size by natural agents at or near the surface of the earth.
