Study Notes
Weathering and Erosion
- Weathering and erosion are the major forces that shape the world around us.
- Erosion involves the removal of earth materials from their original place, resulting in 'eroded parts'.
- The process of erosion is followed by weathering.
- Weathering is then followed by deposition.
- Understanding weathering and erosion helps us comprehend the shaping of our land.
Process of Weathering and Erosion
- Erosion is the process of breaking down minerals and rocks due to climatic factors.
- Transportation is a part of the weathering process.
- Residual or in situ deposits are formed during transportation.
Significance of Weathering and Erosion
- The study of weathering and erosion is significant for students from the programs of Petroleum & Mining Geology, Biotechnology, and Nanotechnology.
- The topic is covered in Chapter 7 of the textbook "Fundamentals of Physical Geology" by Jian (2014).
