it is called weathering; the rocks get weathered by wind, water, or earthquakes (main examples) and peices break off
What involves the breaking down of rocks on the earth's surface?
Water, ice, wind, acid, gravity, and temperature are all involved in the breaking down of rocks on the earth's surface.
The breaking down of rocks by wind and water is?
The breaking down of rocks is weathering. Their movement from one place to another place is erosion.
How can weathering and erosion break down rocks?
It is also called denudation. It is bigger things breaking down into smaller things. The top of a mountain breaks down into rocks and falls, breaking the rocks into sand. Sooner or later the mountain will become a hill. Rocks either get water or plants into cracks that are already formed and causes it to breah down into smaller rocks.

Is the breakdown of rocks into smaller particles by a natural process cause by water, wind, cold and heat, and gases. Small particles created by weathering are called sediments.
How doEs wind and water affect water?
Wind and water can affect rocks by carrying them around and eroding the rocks by such pressure
