Weathering: The Erosion of Rock by Natural Forces

The video explains how rocks are worn away by natural forces through processes called erosion and weathering. Weathering is further divided into physical, chemical, and biological types. Physical weathering involves processes like wind and ice, while chemical weathering is driven by acidic rain dissolving rocks. Biological weathering occurs when plants and animals contribute to rock breakdown. Each type of weathering plays a significant role in shaping the Earth's surface.
