EROSION VS WEATHERING

• Erosion is things moved to a different location
• Weathering is breaking down or rocks and minerals by wind and water.

EROSION

• Rainfall-as precipitation falls it slowly takes pieces off of rocks
• Glaciers- as glaciers move and scrape the bottom of the sea floor it is thinned.
• Streams- as streams run across the ground and break it down.
• Coastal Erosion- as the waves crash on the shore they break down the sand.

WEATHERING

• Frost- when the rock is frozen and breaks apart
• Pressure- when extreme pressure creates or breaks rocks
• Hydro-when high pressured water breaks the rocks.
• Thermal-when temperature effects the rock like in deserts.
