What is weathering?
  • fragments of weathered rock
  • is the process by which wind, water, ice, or gravity transport weathered materials from one location to another
  • occurs when eroded materials are dropped, or laid down
  • is the main force behind sudden rock falls and landslides that can change the shape of a mountain.
