  • Understanding Erosion: How Weathered Rock and Soil Are Moved
    The process by which natural forces move weathered rock and soil from one place to another is called erosion.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Weathering: The breakdown of rocks, soil, and minerals through contact with the Earth's atmosphere, water, and biological organisms.

    * Erosion: The process of moving the weathered material, often by wind, water, or ice.

    Think of it like this: Weathering breaks down a rock into smaller pieces. Erosion then carries those pieces away, changing the landscape.
