Talk:weathering

Weathering revision
this may seem petty, but You're definition for the term "weathering" is inaccurate and scientifically incorrect. I know this because I study Geography at Brighton University. Not all weathering is due to weather, for example biological weathering by plant roots, or hydrolysis. why not take a look at the wikipedia article, which is far more accurate.

Given that most students use wiki, it helps if the content is accurate.

The definition taught at A-level geography and geology is "the break down of rock in situ (with out movement) at or near the Earths surface, through physical, Chemical and Biological processes."

 * Yeah, cites seem to support your claim. I've restored a definition line similar to yours, but formatted correctly, which yours was not. Thanks for the correction!
 * Doesn't weather: have a corresponding definition as a verb? &#x200b;—msh210℠ 19:26, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Ah sorry about that, many thanks!

Sorry, but erosion is a separate process which is cause by weathering. Erosion is scientifically defined as "The removal of weathered rock products".
 * Okay now? You can edit it yourself, you know: WT:ELE gives our format. &#x200b;—msh210℠ 19:37, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Ai thats much better. I can, but usually someone reverts it back... I'll leave you alone now anyway, I'm sure you have more important things to do.
 * No, please bug me with anything else. &#x200b;—msh210℠ 19:42, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
