it depends on how it actually breaks
It breaks down and the cycle starts again
Through weathering, typically from abrasion or tumbling.

The shape of a rock that has just broken off a larger block of rock is either amorphous or jagged. It will eventually undergo weathering and become smooth.
The Solid Form of Water that breaks rock is called "ice".
The Metamorphic Rock must undergo a process called Weathering and Erosion. Once it has become sediments it goes under another process called Cementing and Compacting. Now it has become a sedimentary rock. Trust Point me if this helped! Thanks!
Water seeps into cracks and breaks apart the rock or water rubs the side of the rock that is exposed and breaks off pieces of the rock.
If the sediments become cemented, a sedimentary rock will be formed. Sedimentary rocks are created through the processes of weathering, erosion, deposition, and lithification, which involve the accumulation of sediments that are cemented together over time.

Cleavage is when you can break the rock into square like pieces and Fracture is when you break a rock into uneven different shaped pieces.
A smooth, black rock is likely to be basalt. Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock that is commonly dark in color and has a fine-grained texture, giving it a smooth appearance.
Rocks can become liquid when they are subjected to very high temperatures that exceed their melting point. This process is known as melting, where the solid rock transitions into a molten state. The intense heat breaks the bonds between the mineral components of the rock, allowing them to flow like a liquid.
