Processes that break down rock at earths surface?
Weathering.
Is weathering the process by which rocks on or near earths surface break down and change?
The change undergone is physical only. The definition of weathering is the wearing away of rocks in situ. Weathering causes the rocks to "break down", but mostly not to chemically change (the exception being limestone in acid rain).
What is weathering is the surface processes that work to break down?
rocks
What is the breaking down of Earths surface into smaller pieces?
It is actually called weathering, but if your talking about the process of rocks breaking down into smaller pieces by physical means it is called Mechanical Weathering, by chemical means it is called Chemical Weathering.
What forces on Earth's surface break down rocks?
Weathering breaks down rocks on the Earth's surface by wind, rain, or ice.
Processes that break down rock at earths surface?
Weathering.
What are the processes that break down rock at earths surface?
They are generally called Exogeneous processes. Example include weathering.
What are the process that cause earths surface to wear down?
Weathering and erosion
What is processes that break down rock at earths surface?
Denudational processes, which includes, weathering, erosion, deformation, and exfoliation. Mass movement also plays a great role in changing the earths surface.

Can you describe the process that wears down and builds up the earths surface?
weathering, erosion, deposition, and uplift
What forces on Earth's surface break down rocks?
Weathering breaks down rocks on the Earth's surface by wind, rain, or ice.
How does weathering erosion and deposition change earths surface?
Weathering and erosion change Earth's surface by slowly wearing down the substance. Deposition changes the surface of earth by deposting; eroding away the surface. Glad to help! -Angela
What wears down and builds up earths surface?
Weathering, erosion, and deposition. Earth's surface could also be built up by volcanism.
