You already know how mountains form (really cool, huh?).

But do mountains always grow? Or do they also break?

Look up and explain the definition of the following exogenous forces

Erosion ------> with photo

Erosion

Weathering

Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on Earths surface

Erosion

Erosion is the geological process in which earthen materials are worn away and transported by natural forces such as wind or water.

V-shaped valley

U-shaped valley

Erosion by water & erosion by ice
