What is the difference between weathering and erosion?

• Weathering is the movement of rocks, while erosion is the breaking down of those rocks.

• Weathering is the breaking down of rocks, while erosion is the movement of those broken pieces.

• Weathering and erosion are the same processes that occur simultaneously.
