It erodes into sediment (dirt). When living remains become part of the dirt, it is soil.
Over a long period of time, the rock erodes into sediments. These sediments, along with pressure and water, form sedimentary rocks.
A rock pedestal is formed by sand and wind erosion, due to the harder rock being at the top of the formation, it erodes slower giving you the 'v' shape
Glaciers
It moves sediment it erodes rock It dissolves certain kinds of rocks.
Sedimentary rocks are formed through the deposition and solidification of sediments (such as sand, mud, and organic material) that accumulate over time. These sediments can be compacted and cemented together by pressure and natural minerals, forming layers that eventually harden into rock. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, limestone, and shale.

water erodes a canyon by carrying sediment from the rock walls down the river
A crag rock formation, or a cragg or crag and tail, is created from an area of rock that is more resistant than its surroundings. When a glacier or ice sheet moves over that area the force of the glacier erodes the rest of the softer land, leaving the harder land sticking out, thus creating a crag.
They convert the loose sediment to solid rock.
they wash sediment into the sea
Over a long period of time, the rock erodes into sediments. These sediments, along with pressure and water, form sedimentary rocks.
Weathering of existing rock is the first step in the formation of most sedimentary rock, providing the sediment which will eventually be eroded, deposited, compacted and cemented together.
