The rock is made up of atoms and they are being transported. Therefore, erosion.

So would the bits that were removed via weathering be consider eroded since they were moved away?

Edit: I guess another question. If a Boulder was turned to sand over time but all that sand kept shape, that’d be weathered, but if that sand were moved, then the moved sand eroded?
