Looks like this has been asked before...good answer over at Blurtit.com:
Weathering refers to the process that alters the forms of shapes of rocks. Weathering can be of three types: physical weathering, chemical weathering and biological weathering. By virtue of weathering, the rocks or mineral are broken down into smaller sized particles. Erosion is the process which causes the rocks to move from one place to another by the action of agents like wind, rivers and glaciers.
