Generation

Weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces through physical, chemical, or biological processes, occurring in place without movement. Erosion is the transport of weathered materials from one location to another by agents like water, wind, ice, or gravity. A key formula relating to erosion is the **Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE): A = R × K × LS × C × P**, where A is soil loss, R is rainfall erosivity, K is soil erodibility, LS is slope length and steepness, C is cover management, and P is support practice factor. Together, weathering and erosion reshape Earth's landscape over time.
