Question

State the effects of weathering.

Answer 1

Effects of weathering :

1. It causes landslides.
2. It causes mudflow, that is, the flow of weathered material, soggy with water, deacon a hillside, or a slope.
3. Weathering breaks down the particles of rocks gradually and makes it easy for rivers and other agents of denudation to transport them down the slope. It exposes the rock to further weathering. Thus weather assists the agents of denudation.
4. Weathering assists the formation of soils.
