What is weathering? Is it the same as erosion?
Weathering is not the same as erosion. Weathering is breaking up the rocks to tiny particles while erosion is wearing away the rocks. Weathering can occur in a few ways. By nature, animals, and humans. Weathering occurs by nature and animals more naturally. Weathering because of human interference can occur because of a few things. One, when people deliberately want to make an object or structure look old and two, because the didn't know that by doing certain actions, they could cause weathering unwittingly.
