What is the main difference between weathering and erosion?
Erosion changes the Earth's surface, but weathering does not.
Weathering always happens very quickly, but erosion always happens very slowly.
Weathering breaks down rocks, and erosion moves weathered pieces of rock or sediment away.
Erosion breaks down rocks, and weathering moves the eroded pieces of rock or sediment away.
