Answer 2

Weathering

Step-by-step explanation:

The geologic process of breaking down rocks into smaller and smaller units or pieces is known as weathering.

The physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils is known as weathering.

The agents of weathering are wind, water and glacier.

• Chemical weathering entails the decomposition of rocks.
• Mechanical weathering is the physical disintegration of rocks.

Therefore, weathering breaks down rocks.

Erosion removes the weathered materials.
