Erosion~
Erosion is the geological process in which Earth's surface is worn down by natural forces like running water, wind, glaciers and waves. Erosion breaks down rocks, mountains and land surfaces, and then these broken pieces are carried away by wind, rain or rushing rivers. Even the smaller particles add to the erosion as they move along and pound against exposed earth. MOVEMENT OF SEDIMENTS
Weathering~
Weathering causes the disintegration of rock near the surface of the earth. Plant and animal life, atmosphere and water are the major causes of weathering. Weathering breaks down and loosens the surface minerals of rock so they can be transported away by agents of erosion such as water, wind and ice. There are two types of weathering: mechanical and chemical.
