Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Sun, rain, frost, and wind are breaking down even the most solid of the rocks into smaller bits before they are taken away. This process is termed as weathering.
Detailed explanation-2: -Erosion relies on transporting agents such as wind, rivers, ice, snow and downward movement of materials to carry weathered products away from the source area. As weathered products are carried away, fresh rocks are exposed to further weathering. Over time, that mountain or hill is gradually worn down.
