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: -The action of the elements of climate and weather, animals, and plants on the land surfaces to break them down biologically, chemically, and physically is called weathering.
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 breaks down the Earth’s surface into smaller pieces. Those pieces are moved in a process called erosion, and deposited somewhere else. Weathering can be caused by wind, water, ice, plants, gravity, and changes in temperature.
