The earth as we know it today is not the same as it was yesterday, and will not be the same tomorrow. The earth’s surface is constantly changing. ...
Weathering is the physical breakdown (disintegration) and chemical alteration (decomposition) of rocks at the earth’s surface. ... This is when water in rocks is constantly freezing and thawing in cold temperatures. ... The rate of weathering depends on the amount of surface area, the minerals in the rocks and the climate. These two general types of weathering work together to change the physical and chemical properties of materials at the earths surface over time. ... Erosion leads to a sculpting of the earth’s surface. The rate of erosion is mainly influenced by human activity (logging, construction) on the earth’s surface.
