Rocks are formed initially as one large slab, then are broken down by various processes. Most of the processes that will break rocks down into smaller rocks require the rock be exposed to the weather (wind, rain, freeze/thaw cycle, mechanical separation by roots growing into the cracks), so the further the rocks are from the surface, the larger they are likely to be.

How does climate causes soil formation?
