What is erosion?
200
This change to Earth's surface occurs by building up area on Earth's surface.
What is deposition?

Describe the differences between chemical and physical weathering.
What is physical weathering breaking rocks into smaller pieces while chemical weathering changes the rocks into a a new substance?
500
