Various forms of human activity break down rocks, from drilling and mining to creating acid rain, which dissolves rocks faster than less-acid rain. Acid rain is created when sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and other industrial waste gases are released into the air.
Ice breaks rocks when water enters tiny cracks, and then expands when it freezes, forcing the cracks apart.
What else can I help you with?
Explain how rock and mountains break apart?
Rocks and mountains break apart due to various factors such as weathering, erosion, and tectonic activity. Weathering breaks down rocks through physical processes like freezing and thawing, while erosion removes the broken rock material. Tectonic activity like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions can cause rocks to break apart as well.
What name is this process when rocks break down?
the process is called weathering when the rocks break down
Which force does not break down rocks in nature?
Magnetic force does not break down rocks in nature. Rocks are typically broken down by mechanical weathering (e.g. frost wedging, root growth) and chemical weathering (e.g. oxidation, dissolution).
Rocks break down to?

What are the processes that break down rocks?
Weathering
What plants break down rocks?
none
Does weathering break rocks down?
Yes
How rocks from a cliff can be broken down to become sand?
Erosion is the main force that acts on rocks to break them down into sand. Water getting into cracks, freezing and expanding also helps to break down rocks.
What do igneous rocks become when you break down and settle into layer?
sedimentary rocks
What happens when rocks fall down a cliff?
It falls and break
Does chemical weathering cause a break down in the color and size of rocks?
Chemical weathering breaks down rocks
How does rocks break down?
It when water goes into the rock and then the water freezes and break the rock
