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 (deprecated template usage) weather have a corresponding definition as a verb?​—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.​—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.​—msh210℠ 19:42, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
