Hey there!
LEVELING FORCES WEATHERING AND EROSION ARE BOTH KNOWN AS LEVELING FORCES - WHICH MEANS THEY WEAR DOWN AND REMOVE ROCKS THAT ARE EXPOSED ON EARTH'S SURFACE.
WEATHERING IS THE BREAKUP OF ROCKS AT EARTH'S SURFACE DUE TO EXPOSURE TO THE ATMOSPHERE.
In particular, the two substances that do the most damage to rocks are:
OxygenWaterThe presence of just water and oxygen in the atmosphere is enough to break down all rocks given enough time.
EROSION IS THE REMOVAL AND TRANSPORTATION OF WEATHERED ROCK BY NATURAL AGENTS SUCH AS:
windglaciersriversrainwavescurrents
WEATHERINGThere are many different processes that cause weathering, but all of them can be broken up into two main types:
Mechanical WeatheringChemical Weathering
MECHANICAL WEATHERING
MECHANICAL WEATHERING (AKA PHYSICAL WEATHERING) OCCURS WHEN A ROCK BREAKS APART INTO SMALLER PIECES.
THIS IS A PHYSICAL CHANGE ONLY - THE PIECES ARE EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE WHOLE, JUST SMALLER
Hopes this helps u :D
