Answer:

1st Definition: Weathering is the breaking down of rocks, soils, and minerals as well as wood and artificial materials through contact with the Earth's atmosphere, water, and biological organisms.

There is 3 different types of weathering: physical, chemical, biological

Weathering is the wearing away of the surface of rock, soil, and minerals into smaller pieces. Example of weathering: Wind and water cause small pieces of rock to break off at the side of a mountain.

The definition of physical weathering is rocks, soil and minerals being slowly broken down or broken apart by the Earth's environment such as pressure, temperature, water and ice. An example of physical weathering is a large rock located under a waterfall turning smooth from the pounding water.

Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on Earths surface. ... Water, ice, acids, salts, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering. Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and mineral away
