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 a term which describes the general process by which rocks are broken down at the Earth’s surface into such things as sediments, clays, soils and substances that are dissolved in water. 2. The process of weathering typically begins when the earth’s crust is uplifted by tectonic forces.

Detailed explanation-3: -Weathering is the name given to the process by which rocks are broken down to form soils. Rocks and geological sediments are the main parent materials of soils (the materials from which soils have formed).

Detailed explanation-4: -Weathering is the breaking down of rocks. Rocks get broken down by agents including water, ice, wind, animals and growing plants. Erosion is the movement of material from broken down rocks. This material is called sediment and is made of rocks, minerals, and plant and animal remains.
