4.Worn Away Bark From Tree-Erosion
5.Crack In Foundation-the ground settling- Erosion
6.Worn Away Shoes-concrete wears down shoes-Friction

Answer 3

Abrasion is not chemical unless it is done with a chemical. In the case of jeans it would be physical.


Weathering is the breakdown of rocks, soils and minerals by physical or chemical means.

Erosion is the movement and displacement of weathered particles.

They are NOT the same.
