Wind can carry abrasive particles which weather rocks. Trees can be uprooted by wind, causing the rocks at their roots to fracture. Wind can create waves which can fracture or exploit an existing fracture in a rock.

erosion
What forces on Earth's surface break down rocks?
Weathering breaks down rocks on the Earth's surface by wind, rain, or ice.
Does erosion break down rocks?
yes wind and soil erosion both contributes to breaking down of rocks.You can google it and see the pictures of beautiful rocks have been shaped due to wind erosion.and water erosion breaks down the rocks and even make its surface smooth.
Which force does not break down rocks in nature?
sunlight does not break down rocks
When wind and water break rock down?
When rocks get broken down by wind, water, ice or heat it's called weathering. Weathering is the process that occurs before erosion where the rock is broken down even further.

What involves ways that rocks break down without changes to?
Weathering involves ways that rocks break down without changes to their chemical state. Weathering involves mechanical forces e.g. wind and rainfall rather than chemical energy in disintegration or rocks.
What is causing sedimentary rocks to break down?
The process of erosion, which is where rock is weathered down by water, wind, and other various contributing factors.
What name is this process when rocks break down?
the process is called weathering when the rocks break down
When weathering grinding wind ice and water break rocks down into smaller pieces what are the smaller pieces called?
Sediment
What environmental agents act to break down rocks and minerals into smaller pieces?
Wind, Water, Wave, Glacier, and Gravity.
