erosion, I believe
Small rocks have a larger surface-to-volume ratio , and are therefore more quickly weathered compared to a large rock with a lower surface-to-volume ratio.
What is it called when softer rock weathers away and leaves harder rocks behind
Abrasion is when rock particles are wearing away from the rocks surface. This is done by wind, water, and ice in nature.
Differential erosion occurs when a geologic area was formed of both soft and weak rocks rocks, are harder, more resistant, rocks, weak rocks wear away first leaving behind knobs and cliffs of more resistant rocks.
wind can wear away rock by being pressed against it and being sent downstream and soon sand dunes and rocks will wear away by wind.

Because they could be destroyed and recycled.

The tides and waves slowly wear away at the rocks.
Rocks wear away because slowly,wind/water take away tiny pieces of dust and slowly it gets worn away.

Limestone and marble.
Any kind. (There are more than one?)
