physical weathering is the physical wearing away of rock by water and temperature . When rocks are broken down into smaller pieces of the same material without changing its composition
chemical weathering takes place when the rocks mineral are changed into different substances
When rocks are broken down into different pieces it does not stay in one place. Some rocks become a part of soil while others transferred from one place to another. Once the rock fragments and soil moved from one place to another that is called erosion
agents of soil erosion example waterwindanimalshuman
animals can cause erosion by digging burrows which weaken the ground above them. They may also eat plants on hillsides causing the soil to wash away during heavy rainfall
wind can also be an agent of erosion because it blows sand, dust, gravel and other loose materials around. It can carry these particles long distances and deposit them somewhere else
water can be an agent of erosion because it carries sediments with it as it flows over land or under the sea.
