Weathering: Explained in an Easy to Understand Way

Weathering Simple Definition

Imagine trying to untangle a pair of headphones that have been jumbled up in your pocket for days. Just as those small, repeated movements slowly knot and wear down the cords, weathering involves the gradual breakdown of rocks through repeated natural forces. The tangled headphones and the rock both undergo processes that change their structure over time—whether it's the friction and tension of the cords or the wind, water, and temperature changes acting on the rock.
