Answer:

(1).When the smaller rock pieces are moved by these natural forces, it is called erosion. So, if a rock is changed or broken but stays where it is, it is called weathering. If the pieces of weathered rock are moved away, it is called erosion.

(2).Mechanical weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces without changing their composition. ... Chemical weathering breaks down rocks by forming new minerals that are stable at the Earth's surface. Water, carbon dioxide, and oxygen are important agents of chemical weathering.

(3)Hydrolysis and oxidation are similar in that both involve chemical reactions between a mineral and another material. Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction between a mineral and water. Oxidation is a chemical reaction between a mineral and oxygen. Exfoliation is the cracking of rock caused by a decrease in pressure.

(4)Exfoliation is a process in which large flat or curved sheets of rock fracture and are detached from the outcrop due to pressure release: As erosion removes the overburden from a rock that formed at high pressure deep in the Earth´s crust, it allows the rock to expand, thus resulting in cracks and fractures along sheet ...

(5)  The waves crashing into rock along the shorelines , particles of sand,shell. and other materials is the processs of of Erosion . THe last one where waves recede is Weathering .
