erosion is to soil/rock; corrosion is to metals

erosion is by natural forces (wind, water), corrosion is by chemical

erosion is extremely slow over many years; corrosion is still slow but typically faster than that

weathering = natural force

earth's surface = soil/rock

The weathering of the Earth's surface is known as Erosion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Weather is describes as the decomposition or melting of rocks and minerals on the earth's surface. Water, ice, acids, salts, plants, animals and temperature are the components of weather. It is true that the weathering of the Earth's surface is called as erosion.

It is a action of natural forces that abrades the rocks and soil. It helps to smooth the rough and sharp rock surfaces in the production of soil. It is a chorography analyses and part of the rock cycle. Erosion occurs on the surface and does not affect the shell and cores.
