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 describes the physical removal of sediments from one place to another, while erosion is the chemical breakdown that forms those sediments. 2. Weathering is when oxygen attacks the rock, while erosion is when water freezes in the cracks causing the rocks to break apart into smaller pieces.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sediment is solid material that is moved and deposited in a new location. Sediment can consist of rocks and minerals, as well as the remains of plants and animals.

Detailed explanation-4: -“Mechanical weathering is the breakdown of rocks into sediments through physical means. For example, weathering can carve out potholes in our streets, break down rocks to form soils, and even tear down mountains.”
