The correct distinction between weathering and erosion is:
**Weathering breaks down rock and erosion carries it away.**
**Weathering** refers to the processes that break down rocks into smaller pieces through physical or chemical means, while **erosion** involves the movement of those broken-down materials from one location to another, typically by water, wind, or ice.
