  7. Erosion and weathering are similar because they both break down rocks but they are also different because one is caused by weather in the area,like sleet or hail.

  12. Erosion and Weathering are similar because a erosion can change the shape of a rock and they're different because well I'm not sure.

  13. Weathering and Erosion are similar because they both break things down. Erosion means to break things down in a natural way. Chemical weathering, though, doesn't always break things down. Therefore erosion and weathering are not the same.

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

    Erosion is displacement of solids (soil, mud, rock and other particles) usually by the agents of currents such as, wind, water, or ice by downward or down-slope movement in response to gravity or by living organisms.

    Weathering is the decomposition of rocks, soils and their minerals through direct contact with the Earth's atmosphere.

  17. Erosion and weathering are alike because they are both rocks and they are different because they are different types of rocks and the shape and size is different too.

  18. The are similar because they both can make rocks smaller. They are different because erosion moves dirt from the earth and weathering doesn't

  19. They are alike because water smooths the rock out

  20. Erosion and weathering both effect rocks. But weathering is caused by the weather and erosion is caused by rocks reforming over time.

  23. Erosion and weathering are similar because they're processes that wear down and break apart rocks. They're also different because weathering is a set of processes that break solid rocks into fragments, and erosion is running water, blowing wind, or moving ice that picks up and moves these fragments to a different location.

  24. erosion and weathering are different because weathering has two types mechanical and chemical and both types do different types of things to a rock. erosion only has on type and it only dose one thing. It wears away the rock breaking it little by little until it's sand.

  32. Erosion and weathering are similar because they change the ground. And they are different because erosion happens inside the Earth, and weather happens outside the Earth.

  33. Erosion and weathering are similar, because they both slowly break down rock.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Yes because they both have to do with rocks

    ReplyDelete
  35. Erosion and weathering is the same because they both have the process of breaking and waring down rocks. Erosion can also cause rocks to unearth from beneath the Earth.

  46. Weathering is the decomposition of rocks, soils and their minerals through direct contact with the Earth's atmosphere, while erosion does the same, but on Earth surface.

  82. Weathering and erosion are geological processes that act together to shape the surface of the Earth. In simple terms, weathering is a set of processes that break solid rocks into fragments. Erosion is a group of processes that involve running water, blowing wind, or moving ice that picks up and moves these fragments to a different location.

    Weathering can be divided into two categories—physical (also called mechanical) weathering and chemical weathering. Physical weathering includes any process that breaks rocks into fragments. These processes may include breaking the rock by collision with other rocks, fracturing caused by release of pressure as material is removed by erosion from above, growth of ice crystals in fractures, and growth of plants, which extend their roots into fractures and pry the rocks apart. Chemical weathering occurs when water from rainfall, streams, lakes, or oceans, or oxygen from the atmosphere chemically react with the minerals in rocks to produce new minerals that are more stable at the low temperatures and pressures near the Earth’s surface, or in some cases, where the minerals completely dissolve as a result of contact with water. The end products of chemical weathering are the minerals that make up soils, such as clay minerals, quartz, and iron and aluminum oxides and hydroxides. Basically, weathering takes large pieces of rock and breaks them down to fragments that can more easily be transported by water, wind, and ice.

  84. Not really, erosion washes the rock while weathering breaks it down.

  95. Weathering and Erosion are both different because first of all Weathering is a process of breaking bigger rocks into smaller rocks. Erosion is a process that includes running water, ice blocks, or wind to move an object to a different place. Their both the same because They are both surface process. They are also the same because they are also both noticeable. They also are the same because they both use the same things to move or break something.
