Curious about Earth Science? What do you think about taking this quiz on weathering and erosion for earth science? Weathering is the breakdown of rocks, soil, minerals, wood, and artificial items through contact with water, atmospheric gases, and biological organisms. Erosion entails the transport of rocks and minerals such as water, ice, snow, wind, and waves. This quiz will teach you more about weathering and erosion. You can do it.
