The breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces called sediments?

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.

Weathering and erosion?

How do rocks erode in nature?

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.
