What is the difference between weathering and erosion ?

Open in App
Solution

Weathering and erosion are geological processes that act together to shape the surface of the Earth.

Weathering is the breaking down of rocks into smaller fragments by air, water and biological organisms in the same location.

Erosion is the movement of these fragments to a different location by running water, blowing wind or moving ice.
