Best Answer

Weathering and or erosion: Earthquakes cause rockfalls. Water freezing and expanding in cracks causes rocks to break. Wind and water erodes rock by passing over the rock and blowing or washing away the surface of the rock and/or by causing the rock to roll or tumble along the ground or against other rocks wearing or grinding the rock away.

I think that you are looking for "EROSION"? Erosion consists of many forces of nature. For instance:

1. Rain

2. Wind (blowing particles)

3. Freezing (water expanding into ice in cracks)

4. Thawing

5. Flowing water (rivers, etc)

6. Etc
