Weathering :D
The breaking down of rocks is weathering. Their movement from one place to another place is erosion.
Wearing away of rocks is called weathering.

weathering
The breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces is called weathering. Weathering can be physical, through processes like freeze-thaw cycles or root wedging, or chemical, involving the dissolution of minerals in water or oxidation. The resulting smaller pieces, called sediments, can then be transported and deposited by various agents such as water, wind, or ice to form sedimentary rocks.
erosion, which is caused by wind or water
To put is simply, weathering is breaking big rocks into small rocks. Erosion is moving those small rocks somewhere else - by wind, water or ice.
Is the breakdown of rocks into smaller particles by a natural process cause by water, wind, cold and heat, and gases. Small particles created by weathering are called sediments.
Wind and water can affect rocks by carrying them around and eroding the rocks by such pressure
Rocks erode in nature through processes like water erosion, wind erosion, freeze-thaw cycles, and chemical weathering. Water erodes rocks by wearing them down with the force of flowing water, while wind erosion occurs when particles carried by wind collide with rocks, gradually breaking them down. Freeze-thaw cycles cause rocks to crack as water penetrates cracks, freezes, and expands. Chemical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks through chemical reactions with substances like water and acids.
