What is the definition of WEATHERING?

• The natural process by which atmospheric and environmental agents, such as wind, rain, and temperature changes, disintegrate and decompose rocks.

• A mass of material deposited in a triangular or fan shape at the mouth of a river or stream.

• The process by which wind, water, ice, or gravity transports soil and sediment from one location to another.

• The material carried along by a river or a stream.
