Differences between Weathering & Erosion + How They Work Together to Create Landscapes | GEO GIRL

Many people use the terms erosion and weathering synonymously, but they are actually very different processes! In this video, I go over the differences between weathering and erosion and the different types of weathering (physical, chemical and biologicla weathering), as well as the different types of erosion (wind, water, glacial, and gravitational erosion). I hope you enjoy this video and find a new appreciate for the beautiful landscapes that these two processes create! ;)
