Weathering differs from erosion in that weathering involves

  • A.breakdown in place, without removal
  • B.removal of material by a transporting agent
  • C.deposition of material in a new location
  • D.compaction of material after burial

Answer: A

Weathering prepares the material and erosion carries it away, so the two act together but are quite distinct processes. A rock face can be deeply weathered yet unmoved, and fresh rock can be eroded without weathering at all.
