Where does weathering of a rock take place?

Weathering refers to the break down of rocks near the earth's surface. Due to weathering, the broken loose sediments are carried away from one place to another by different agents such as wind, water and ice. This process of weathering plays an important role in constructing the shape of the earth's surface. The factors that causes weathering of rocks are temperature, wind, water content in the rock, climate, structures in the rocks and topography of the area.

This weathering occurs in two forms-

(1) Physical/Mechanical weathering

(2) Chemical weathering

This two methods initiates weathering and the sediments are transported to a different place and gets deposited there.

Hence, weathering of rocks takes place near the earth's surface.
