Abrasion.
The agent of mechanical weathering in which rock is worn away by the grinding action of other rock particles is called abrasion.

Abrasion.
The agent of mechanical weathering you are referring to is called abrasion. It occurs when rocks are physically worn down by the friction and impact of other rock particles.
Abrasion.
Abrasion in mechanical weathering occurs when rocks and minerals are worn down and broken apart by the constant rubbing and grinding action of other particles such as sand, pebbles, or glaciers. This process leads to the physical fragmentation and erosion of the material over time.
mechanical or physical weathering
The agent of mechanical weathering in which rock is worn away by the grinding action of other rock particles is called "abrasion." This process typically occurs in environments where rocks are constantly moved by wind, water, or ice, causing them to collide and wear each other down over time.
weathering
Two forms of mechanical weathering are frost heaving and plant root wedging. All forms of mechanical weathering result in the breakage of rock into smaller size particles.
Abrasion is the grinding and wearing of rock surfaces through mechanical action of other sand particles.
