Answer
Denudation, weathering, and erosion are three processes that work together to shape the Earth's surface. Weathering refers to the disintegration of rocks by atmospheric agents at or near the surface of the earth. It prepares them for further erosion. For example, in mechanical weathering rocks are disintegrated into blocks, pieces or fragments which can be eroded easily.
Erosion is the displacement of rock and soil from one place to another by natural agents such as wind, water, and ice. For example, water erosion can create channels and gullies in the landscape, carrying sediment downstream and depositing it in new locations to form deltas.
Denudation is the process of breaking and removing the rocks from the surface of the earth, which includes both weathering and erosion. It can lead to the formation of new landscapes and landforms, such as canyons and valleys. For example, the Grand Canyon in the United States was formed over millions of years through the combined processes of weathering and erosion. Together, these processes shape the Earth's surface over time.
