Erosion

What would the Earth's surface be like with no weathering or erosion?

The Earths surface would be very boring, because the rocks would be piled so high

The processes are definitively independent, but not exclusive. Weathering is the mechanical and chemical hammer that breaks down and sculpts the rocks. Erosion transports the fragments away.

Working together they create and reveal marvels of nature from tumbling boulders high in the mountains to sandstone arches in the parched desert to polished cliffs braced against violent seas.

The Earth would be filled with rocks and would effect our lifecycle greatly from lack of elements. Like how would seeds replant themselves if there was no wind? Or how would they grow without rain? Or how would our Earth change? It wouldn't.
