Erosion
Erosion processes such as water, wind, ice, and gravity carry away the surface of the Earth over time. These processes break down and transport rock and soil particles, shaping the landscape over millions of years.

Yes, metamorphic rocks can wear away through erosion. This can occur when wind, water, ice, or other natural processes gradually break down the rock's surface and carry away particles or fragments of the rock. Over time, this erosion can shape the landscape and change the appearance of the metamorphic rocks.
The rock cycle is a model that describes the formation, breakdown, and reformation of a rock as a result of sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic processes.
The term that best describes this process is "mass wasting," which refers to the movement of material downslope due to gravity. This can include processes such as landslides, creep, and rockfalls.
It is called erosion.
This process is called erosion. Water erodes rock through processes like abrasion and attrition, breaking down the rock into smaller pieces that can be carried away by the water.
The process of erosion, which involves the wearing away of rock by natural forces like wind, water, and ice, turns rock into sand over time. This can occur through physical processes such as abrasion and chemical processes like weathering.
Small particles of rock can be carried away by erosion processes such as wind, water, or ice. These particles can be transported and deposited in different locations, shaping the landscape over time.
No, the rock cycle is not a biogeochemical cycle. The rock cycle describes the processes through which rocks are formed, weathered, and transformed over time due to geological forces, while biogeochemical cycles involve the movement of elements and compounds through biological, geological, and chemical processes in ecosystems.
