Weathering is when something is worn away by temperature, water, and frost, ans plants. There are many
different types of weathering such as freeze-thaw, biological, and chemical weathering.
Onion skin weathering is when the rock (during day-time) expands and contracts (during night-time). This
Makes the rock's layers start to break and peel apart causing it to look like an onions skin.
First the water from the sea or river start eroding land around it through the process of abrasion, attrition,
hydraulic action and solution. Then the water's fast currents wash it along or roll it along the ground carrying it
along the river. they are then dropped in another place which is deposition.
Destructive wave erodes and constructive creates
