Discuss why people get confused between the processes of weathering and erosion? Make suggestions to help people understand and remember what they mean. ​

Sagot :

Weathering and erosion are processes by which rocks are broken down and moved from their original location. The difference between weathering and erosion is based on whether a rock's location has changed: Weathering degrades a rock without moving it, while erosion carries rocks and soil away from their original locations. Weathering often leads to erosion by causing rocks to break down into smaller pieces, which erosive forces can then move away.

Similarities

Both weathering and erosion are processes that wear away rocks. These two processes collaborate to break down rocks by removing or forcing out particles and sediment. Water is a force that helps both processes to occur.Chemical Weathering

Chemical weathering occurs when bonds between particles are broken by chemical reactions. When the bonds break, the particles fall apart. These reactions most often occur when water or oxygen react with the elements within the rock. The rock becomes softer upon the reaction. This causes sediment and particles to break away from the rock. When the rock reacts with oxygen it is called oxidation. When the rock reacts with water, it is called hydrolysis.
