    Differentiate between erosion and weathering?

    Answer:

    Erosion Weathering
    Small rock fragments broken p due to the process of weathering are removed by the agents of nature, viz. wing water and ice. This eroded material is deposited at some other locations. This weathering of the upper layer of the earth and transportation of material at other locations is called erosion.  Weathering is the braking up of rocks. For example, due to repeated and rapid heating and cooling, rocks develop cracks. These crack widen further and finally the rocks break up into smaller pieces.
