Answer to Question 1

Weathering is the breakdown of material in place; erosion is the removal of the weathered materials.

Answer to Question 2

Important economic resources, such as mineral deposits and oil and gas, are found in sedimentary
rocks. By understanding how these resources are related to sedimentary processes, geologists can more
effectively predict where these deposits will occur.
