The answer sort of depends on whether you are considering elemental particles or composite particles.
Composite particles are, by their nature, made up from smaller particles. Example of such particles would be an atom (made up from neutron, protons and electrons), protons (made up from quarks) or even mesons (also made up from quarks).
Composite particles can 'break down' into their constituents via interactions; for example in nuclear fission uranium atoms are broken down into smaller atoms.
Elementary particles do not consist of smaller particles; they are the elementary building blocks which make up all other particles. As such elementary particles cannot break down into their constituents.
Elementary particles can however change into other (multiple) particles via decay. For example a muon can decay into an electron, a muon neutrino and an anti electron neutrino. This does not mean the muon consists of these three particles; other decays are also possible.

Rocks being broken down into soil and sand is what?
weathering
What makes sand?
Sand is composed of bits of rock that have been broken down to a small size.
What is naturally found in sand?
Often found in sand is broken down rock particles and dead organisms.
Does sand consist of sea shells?
MOST sand consists of broken down rock (silica dioxide). However, on islands, such as Hawaii, most sand is broken down coral (calcium carbonate). This is why most beaches in Hawaii are tan colored, and not white.
Is chemical weathering when rocks are being broken down into soil and sand?
yes
What happens to the pieces of rock when it is broken down by wind?
Erosion/gathering which generates sand.
What are most grains of sand made of?
tiny broken down pieces of rock and sea shells
What are small pieces of rock shell and other material that are broken down by the processes of weathering?
sand.
How rocks from a cliff can be broken down to become sand?
Erosion is the main force that acts on rocks to break them down into sand. Water getting into cracks, freezing and expanding also helps to break down rocks.
What was the original source of the sand and other particles?
Sand is rock or coral that has been broken down by weathering or mechanical means to a fine grain size.
What is a hill of sand broken by winds?
Sand dunes
