Weathering |
Erosion |
Weathering is the process of decomposition of rocks resulting from the loosening of rock particles. |
When the disintegrated particles formed due to weathering start moving from one place to another then it is known as erosion. |
There are several agents of weathering like heat, cold, chemical factors and water. |
Agents responsible for erosion and deposition of particles from one place to another are glaciers, sea waves, running water, wind, etc. |
This process does not involve the movement of particles form one place to another. |
The second stage of weathering is known as erosion (the movement of particles and their deposition). |
No new landform is created as a result of weathering. |
New landforms are created due to erosion, for example, sand dunes. |
