Weathering is the physical or chemical process where rocks are broken down to form sediments.
• Physical weathering does not change the rock’s composition.
• Chemical weathering does change the rock’s composition
• Erosion is the process where forces such as water, wind, ice, or gravity transport sediments to some remote location

Answer:

Weathering is a process of water moving through rocks and making them erosionate, flowing and moving to a river and sediments in the bottom of the sea or a river

Step-by-step explanation:

As you can see in the image below.

weathering can be done by rain, wind or ice that moves through rocks.

Erosion is a process where rocks are melted down by the rain or wind that comes above and moving down hill to a river.

Deposition is the final process of the cycle where all the rocks,and soil were dragged by water to the bottom of a river or sea.
