To put is simply, weathering is breaking big rocks into small rocks. Erosion is moving those small rocks somewhere else - by wind, water or ice.
Weathering is the breaking down of rock and erosion carries it away. Both of them contribute in some way to the formation of new soil.
They are both the result of physical change brought about by natural forces such as wind or water.
No. Weathering and erosion refer to physical processes: frictional disintegration of solid (or mainly solid) objects due to the action of natural forces. However, there are nuclear processes (fusion) that will alter the elements in the core of the sun from light elements to heavier elements - ending with iron.
Four processes that shape the earth includes solidification, weathering, erosion, and deposition
The edges and corners of cubes weather faster than the faces due to their increased exposure to environmental factors such as wind, rain, and temperature fluctuations. These areas have a greater surface area-to-volume ratio, making them more susceptible to erosion and weathering processes. Additionally, the angles and edges can create microenvironments that trap moisture and promote chemical weathering. As a result, the wear and tear from these elements tends to be more pronounced at the edges and corners compared to the flatter faces.

weathering then erosion ,then deposition
Yes, erosion is a synonym of weathering.
Weathering does not necessarily have to take place before erosion. While weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller particles, erosion is the process of transporting these particles to a new location. Weathering can occur simultaneously with erosion or even after erosion has started.
first the weathering happens which causes an erosion which makes deposition.
Because the bigger the load is, more weathering and erosion there is. The less of it means less of weathering and erosion.
Wind and water are the major causes of weathering and erosion.

facts about weathering
weathering and erosion
By weathering and erosion. The types of weathering used is:physical weathering- when a plant grows inside a rock and the roots break it apart; abrasion- mechanical weathering - erosion- and chemical weathering - acid rain, water weathering and erosion.
Weathering: disintegration, decomposition, deterioration Erosion: abrasion, corrosion, scouring Deposition: accumulation, sedimentation, deposit
