Weathering

               •  Breaking down of large rocks into small / tiny pieces “Sediments”.


                   Examples:

               •  Breaking of statues
               •  Removing of paints of buildings

               •  Pulling a wave to the sand of seashores.

                                            Types of Weathering

               We can’t see
            weathering during
            its occurrence but
              you can see its
             effect in the little
              rocks & sand.
