Final answer:

Weathering is the breakdown of rocks when exposed to Earth's surface conditions, involving mechanical and chemical processes.


Explanation:

Weathering is the process by which rocks break down when exposed to the conditions at Earth's surface. It includes mechanical (physical) and chemical weathering, where rocks disintegrate physically and undergo chemical changes. Mechanical weathering creates smaller rock fragments, while chemical weathering alters the rock's chemical composition.
