Generation

Weathering is the breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces right where they are, caused by things like water freezing in cracks, plant roots growing, or chemicals dissolving the rock. Erosion is the process that actually moves those broken rock pieces from one place to another, usually by wind, water, ice, or gravity. Think of weathering as crumbling a cookie on a plate, while erosion is sweeping those crumbs off the plate and carrying them across the kitchen floor. Together, these processes reshape Earth's surface over time, carving valleys, forming soil, and creating landforms like canyons and beaches.
