Rust is chemical weathering. It occurs when oxygen from the air reacts with a metal, typically with iron. This chemical reaction is called oxydation, and the product is what gives rust its reddish color.

What process creates tiny particles from bedrock?
well it is very hard to break up bedrock, but the main process that does is weathering. You have two seperit kinds of weathering. The first one is Chemical Weathering. Chemical weathering is when weathering effects the exterior. two examples are rust and leaching. The second type of weathering is Mechanical Weathering. This effects rocks physically. two examples are abrasion and erosion.SO THE MAIN ANSWER WOULD BE WEATHERING. THE TYPE OF WEATHERING, MECHANICAL WEATHERING, THE PROCESS, ABRASION (well there is more than that but that is the most common situation)
What chemical weathering called oxidation causes?

An iron nail will rust when it is left outside.what type of weathering is this?
This is an oxidation reaction.
What type of weathering makes iron change colors?
oxidation causes iron to change color. oxidation causes rust.
Chemical weathering on metal causes what?

Physical Weathering (aka Mechanical Weathering) is the main type of weathering in deserts.
