The breaking down of rock and other substances at the Earth's surface is known as weathering. This process can occur through physical, chemical, and biological means, leading to the disintegration and alteration of rocks. Physical weathering involves mechanical processes like freeze-thaw cycles, while chemical weathering involves reactions that change the mineral composition of rocks. Biological weathering occurs due to the actions of living organisms, such as plant roots breaking apart rock.
Denudational processes, which includes, weathering, erosion, deformation, and exfoliation. Mass movement also plays a great role in changing the earths surface.
