What role does weathering and erosion play in the rock cycle?

Weathering erodes the rock by wind, water, and any other natural occurrence. Erosion is the same thing as weathering.

The question was too vague hopefully that helps.

sediment layers stop spreading when they reach a barrier or they run out of sedimentary material. lateral spreading is the movement of gently to steeply sloping, saturated soil deposits caused by earthquake-induced liquefaction. i hope this . : )
