Compare and contrast weathering and erosion.

Weathering is the decomposition of rocks, soils and their minerals through direct contact with the Earth's atmosphere. Erosion is displacement of solids (soil, mud, rock and other particles) usually by the agents of currents such as, wind, water, or ice by downward or down-slope movement in response to gravity or by living organisms. Erosion occurs because of factors like wind, water, ice, human activities like deforestation etc. Weathering, on the other hand is caused by contact with the earth's atmosphere. These atmospheric conditions may be heat, pressure etc.

That's how they are different.

Erosion occurs because of factors like wind, water, ice, human activities like deforestation etc. Weathering, on the other hand is caused by contact with the earth's atmosphere. These atmospheric conditions may be heat, pressure etc. Movement: Erosion is caused by the movement of eroding agents while in weathering there is no movement. Weathering is caused when rocks come in contact with atmospheric conditions but there is no movement involved of either of the components. HOPE THIS HELPED

In fact it is not just nuclear fusion and fission that  can  transform  matter  (or mass)into energy. any time  energy  is produced, some small amount of  matter  or mass isconverted into energy.
