Project on Weathering
Weathering refers to the process by which rocks and minerals on the Earth's surface break down or disintegrate over time due to various physical, chemical, or biological processes. These processes can include temperature changes, water, wind, ice, and biological activity. Weathering plays a crucial role in the Earth's geological processes, contributing to the formation of soil and sedimentary rocks, as well as shaping landscapes over long periods of time.
