By weathering which is the gradual wearing away of something. In this case rocks can be weathered by water (current in a large water source or heavy rains) and even wind and other things such as acid rain. Hope that clears things up!
When most people think of weathering, they may think of jagged rocks, shaped into that position by waves smashing at its side. There is also smooth weathering. Occasionally you'll find a rock that is completely smooth, which is pretty cool. But how do rocks get weathered smoothly?
A lot of the time when you find a smooth rock, it is because humans have made it smooth so nobody will be hurt by it, but naturally smooth rocks are weathered by wind. Without sand and small rock particles, and etc. the wind does mostly nothing, but with rock particles it can make a huge effect. If you ever see desert formations, they are mostly smooth because of the constant weathering put upon it by the sand and wind teaming up.
Thanks and that is my answer.
you can put it in a cup of water, put it in a freezer for a few months.
Weathering causes rocks to be smooth because it causes the rocks to break down and get smooth
Erosion

Weathering or air currents
The difference between breccias and conglomerate is that breccias are angular and conglomerates are smooth. What causes rocks to be smooth is transportation, such as when rocks are in a stream and are worn down. Therefore transportation is what causes the difference between breccias and conglomerates.
tumbling against other rocks and sand, either in a stream or in a rock tumbler.
Weathering and erosion. Weathering causes rock to break into smaller particles. When these particles are transported by wind, water, or ice, the jagged edges from fracture are gradually worn down from abrasion with other particles, making the outer surface appear relatively smooth. Sometimes the mere abrasive effects of windblown particles on a rock will smooth the exposed surface, leaving the remainder of the rock jagged.
When plate movement causes rocks to break it is call an earthquake.
By weathering. The water currents weather the rocks leaving them smooth.
Erosion causes them to become smooth from wear.

why are most of rocks extremely smooth
mica
some from weathering
cause rocks r dumb
Rocks in stream beds can become smooth due to a process called abrasion. As water flows over the rocks, it carries sediment and particles that constantly rub against the rocks, wearing them down and making them smooth over time. The friction caused by the movement of water and sediment helps polish the surface of the rocks.
skipping stones!
River rocks, because have smooth edges.
