Tectonic Plates
Pieces of rock that actually strike Earth's surface are called meteorites. When these fragments of asteroids or comets survive the journey through Earth's atmosphere and land on the surface, they are termed meteorites.
Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, while erosion transports these pieces to new locations. Over time, these processes can create features like valleys, canyons, and coastlines, shaping the Earth's surface.
As a substance is broken, the surface area greatly increases. For example a 2 meter cube has a total surface area of 24 square meters. If a 1 meter cube is cut out of one corner, the total surface area is now 30 square meters.
Broken pieces of rock are called fragments or rubble.
The term used to describe the breaking off is calve. The pieces, after they have broken off are called icebergs.
As a rock is falling through the atmosphere, it is a meteor. When it hits the earths surface, it is a meteoroid.
The process is called erosion.
