Weathering and erosion break down rocks and slowly create sediment. This sediment can then be transported and deposited in new locations, eventually forming sedimentary rocks through processes like compaction and cementation.
Igneous rocks that undergo weathering and erosion can break down into sediment. This sediment can then be transported and deposited, eventually forming sedimentary rocks through the process of compaction and cementation.
When rocks break down or decompose, they form smaller rock particles, such as sand, silt, and clay. Over time, these particles can further break down into sediment or mineral components. This process is known as weathering.
Sediment is a common product of weathering and erosion of rocks. As rocks break down into smaller pieces through these processes, they can be transported and deposited as sediment in different locations. Over time, this sediment can become compacted and cemented to form sedimentary rocks.

Erosion can sure help in the breakdown of rocks, but technically, erosion is the movement of material from one place to another place. Weathering is the term used to describe the breaking down of rocks.
Yes, weathering slowly does break down rocks and makes them pebbles and then soil, but it takes years.

Benefits of rocks are when rocks have important parts in them. Like how humans have special or important parts to help them grow.With rocks it's how they break down minerals or sediment.
The breakdown of the Earth's crust into sediment is called weathering. This process includes physical and chemical processes that break down rocks into smaller particles, creating sediment over time.
