Mechanical weathering
Breaks larger rocks into smaller pieces but minerals don't change. It causes by frost, ice, moving water, or heat from the sun.
Effects- It causes rocks to crumble. Water, in either liquid or solid form, is often a key agent of mechanical weathering.

Erosion is the geological process in which earthen materials are worn away and transported by natural forces such as wind or water.
Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on Earth's surface.
What is the difference between weathering and erosion?
So, if a rock is changed or broken but stays where it is, it is called weathering. If the pieces of weathered rock are moved away, it is called erosion.

Biological weathering

Cause-Biological weathering is weathering caused by plants and animals. Plants and animals release acid-forming chemicals that cause weathering and also contribute to the breaking down of rocks and landforms.
Effects-Some of the effects of biological weathering are the breaking of particles, movement of minerals, mixing of materials and production of carbon dioxide.

Definition of erosion

Erosion is the geological process in which earthen materials are worn away and transported by natural forces such as wind or water. A similar process, weathering, breaks down or dissolves rock, but does not involve movement.

Differences  of erosion and weathering

So, if a rock is changed or broken but stays where it is, it is called weathering. If the pieces of weathered rock are moved away, it is called erosion.

Chemical erosion

Chemical erosion involves weathering done by interactions between chemicals in water (usually a dilute form of acid, as in acid rain) and in rocks or sediments, especially carbonate sediments like limestone that dissolve in acid.

# data[].attributes.body
Erosion is a geological process in which natural forces like as wind and water break up and transfer earthen materials. Weathering is a similar process that breaks down or dissolves rock without any movement.

Physical processes, such as impacts by silt transported by moving water, make streambed rocks more prone to erosion.

Erosion is the process in which mainly rocks but also mountains and hills decompose, and get worn out. Usually the cause is wind and water.

Soil erosion occurs primarily when dirt is left exposed to strong winds, hard rains, and flowing water. In some cases, human activities, especially farming and land clearing, leave soil vulnerable to erosion.

EFFECTS OF EROSION

reduced ability of the soil to store water and nutrients.

exposure of subsoil, which often has poor physical and chemical properties.

higher rates of runoff, shedding water and nutrients otherwise used for crop growth.

loss of newly planted crops.

deposits of silt in low-lying areas.

Mechanical Weathering:
Mechanical Weathering is the process that causes rocks, mountains, and hills to crumble and break. It is mainly caused by extreme temperatures, and rain water(most of the time it is Acid Rain).

Chemical
Chemical weathering involves the interaction of rock with mineral solutions (chemicals) to change the composition of rocks. In this process, water interacts with minerals to create various chemical reactions and transform the rocks.

Freezing and thawing, acid rain and etc are some effects of chemical weathering. This causes them to break into small pieces. One effect of chemical weathering is hydrolysis.

Chemical weathering causes rock decomposition, dissolution, and loosening. The bonds that hold the rocks together are destroyed by chemical reactions. As a result, they shatter into small pieces. Hydrolysis is one of the effects of chemical weathering.

(a) Chemical weathering is caused by chemical reactions between minerals in rocks and outside agents such as air or water. Minerals are oxidized by oxygen to produce alteration products, whereas water can convert minerals to clays or dissolve minerals completely.

# data[].attributes.body
Chemical weathering is caused by rain water reacting with the mineral grains in rocks to form new minerals (clays) and soluble salts. These reactions occur particularly when the water is slightly acidic.Chemical weathering changes the molecular structure of rocks and soil. For instance, carbon dioxide from the air or soil sometimes combines with water in a process called carbonation. This produces a weak acid, called carbonic acid, that can dissolve rock.

Where does it occur?

These chemical processes need water, and occur more rapidly at higher temperature, so warm, damp climates are best. Chemical weathering (especially hydrolysis and oxidation) is the first stage in the production of soils.

Water, wind, ice, thermal, and gravity erosion are the many forms of erosion.
Weathering Physical, chemical, and biological weathering are examples of diverse forms of weathering.

# data[].attributes.body
Biological Weathering is the term used to describe the tearing away of rock surface caused by animals and plants. Lichens (organisms comprised of fungi and algae), bacteria and mosses live on and feed on rocks constantly altering the structure of the rock. Biological Weathering causes molecular breakdown of minerals.
