The process of breaking down of rocks and minerals on the surface is known as rock weathering.
This is the process of mechanical weathering.
weathering
This process is called weathering. Water dissolves and erodes rock and soil layers through physical or chemical means. Over time, this can lead to the breaking down and reshaping of the Earth's surface.
The process of weathering and erosion can occur relatively quickly in the rock cycle. This involves the breaking down and transportation of rock materials by natural forces such as water, wind, and ice.
The term for ice breaking apart a rock is freeze-thaw weathering. This process occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, expands, and causes the rock to break apart.
Weathering.
Weathering is the surface process that slowly decomposes rock, breaking it down into smaller particles through physical, chemical, or biological means.
The process by which an igneous rock changes to a sedimentary rock in the rock cycle begins with weathering and erosion of the igneous rock, breaking it down into sediments. These sediments are then transported and deposited, where they are compacted and cemented together to form a sedimentary rock over time.
