Erosion and weathering are similar because they both involve the breaking down of rocks. However, what is a key difference between the two?

• Weathering breaks rocks, while erosion moves sediments.

• Weathering can only happen with water, while erosion does not need water.

• Erosion happens only on the Earth's surface, while weathering happens below the surface.

• Weathering drops sediment in a new location, while erosion breaks rocks.
