The breakdown of rocks is known as weathering. Weathering is the erosion (wearing away) of solid rock into ever smaller particles. In some deserts, sand carried by strong winds 'sandpaper' the rocks into weird shapes. In other areas, the weathering is done by rain and frost during very cold winters. As water inside cracks in the rock freezes, it expands and will often cause the rock to split into one or more pieces.
