The force that acts on a rock to change it is usually weathering and erosion. Weathering breaks down the rock into smaller pieces, while erosion transports these pieces to a new location, changing the shape and size of the original rock.


Weathering and erosion are two of the what that change rocks?

Weathering can wear down rock over time, smoothing out rough rock formations. Since harder rocks are much more resistant to weathering than softer ones, weathering can change the shape of a rock formation as the soft rock is weathered away, leaving behind the hard rock in a potentially very different shape. Erosion has a very small effect, but could slightly change the shape as dirt and rock particles on the formations are blown or washed away.
