Weathering: the breaking down of rocks into sediment or soil by either a chemical or physical means.
The breaking down of rocks into sediments is called weathering. This is one of the critical stages of soil formation as it breaks a rock into small particles.
Sedimentary rocks come from above ground , because sedimentary rocks form when sediment piles up and sediment is made up of loose particles of clay, silt and sand
When sediment from erosion and weathering of rocks falls or lands somewhere.
