The best description of how weathering and erosion are different is: **Erosion transports sediments.**
Weathering involves the breakdown of rocks and minerals at the Earth's surface due to various factors like water, temperature changes, and biological activity, while erosion refers to the movement of those weathered materials (sediments) from one location to another by agents like water, wind, ice, and gravity.
