Weathering is another form that is responsible for the formation of canyons. In place of using the chisel in the form of a sculptor, the minerals and rocks are worn down in varied ways via a process named weathering. From the wind to the water and the animals to the plants, the earth categorizes all sorts of rocks via organic wear and tear. These broken pieces of rocks are further swayed by erosion and these are collected in lakes, rivers, and oceans. So, weathering could be both chemical and mechanical and these two work collectively at the same time.
