Whethering
What are the main types of Whethering?
Physical (Mechanical), which breaks rocks without changing their composition (like ice wedging or abrasion)
What causes soil erosion?
Lack of plant cover, heavy rainfall, steep slopes, farming, and mining.
how does weathering differ from erosion
weathering is different because it breaks things down but erosion dissolves things
What are the main agents of erosion?
Water, wind, ice (glaciers), and gravity
What are the primary agents for deposition for transporting and depositing sediment
The primary agents responsible for transporting and depositing sediment are water, wind, ice, and gravity
What is the process of weathering
breaks down rocks, soils, and minerals at the Earth's surface into smaller pieces (sediments) through physical, chemical, and biological forces like water, ice, temperature changes, acid rain, wind, and plant roots, occurring in situ (without significant transport) before erosion carries them away
What Happens during the process of erosion
the natural forces like water, wind, and ice wear away and transport soil, rock, and sediment from one location to another, changing the Earth's surface over time
What is the process of Deposition
the laying down and accumulation of sediments (like sand, mud, or pebbles) carried by wind, water, or ice, forming new landforms or geological layers

What is the meaning of whethering
the natural process where rocks, soil, and minerals are broken down into smaller pieces. sediments
What is the meaning erosion
the geological process where natural forces like water, wind, ice (glaciers), and gravity wear away and transport soil, rock, and dissolved materials from one location on Earth's surface to another,
what is the meaning of deposition
the dropping off or settling of materials (sediments, particles) in a new location after being carried by wind, water, or ice, shaping landforms
