Erosion. The carrying weathered rock from one location to another . Mechanical Weathering. Rock is physically broken down. Smaller pieces have same composition. Chemical Weathering. Rock is chemically broken down. Predict how weathering might reshape surface features (topography). Weathering and Erosion. The top part of the lithosphere—the earth’s surface—changes as rocks are broken down to smaller pieces and carried away.. Weathering can be defined as any. chemical or mechanical process by which rocks exposed to weather undergo changes in character or are broken down into smaller pieces. .. Mechanical Weathering.

The process of weathering and erosion are the main forces behind landscape types. . However, they are not the only reason for a plain, plateau, or a mountain region to form. . What is Weathering?. The scenes of the world are continuously mutating. Sun, rain, frost, and wind are breaking down even the most solid of the rocks into smaller bits before they are taken away. This process is termed as weathering. . The. . Erosion-Deposition. . Process. Constructive vs. Destructive. Constructive process build up features on Earth’s surface.
