Loose chippings are loose gravel or stone fragments which have become detached from a road surface and form a hazard to vehicles using that road
The loose layer of leaves on the surface of the soil is called leaf litter. Leaf litter plays a significant role in providing nutrients to the soil as it decomposes, which supports plant growth and overall ecosystem health.
The loose material on the surface of the Earth is called "regolith." Regolith includes soil, sand, gravel, and other broken rock particles that cover solid rock.
The removal of loose material from the Earth's surface is called erosion. Erosion can be caused by natural processes such as wind, water, or ice, as well as human activities like deforestation and construction. Erosion can lead to loss of soil fertility, landslides, and alteration of landscapes.
The main cause of road surface cracking during winter is the freeze-thaw cycle. When water seeps into the cracks in the road, it freezes and expands, causing the pavement to crack. As this cycle repeats, the cracks widen and can lead to potholes forming in the road surface. Additionally, the use of de-icing salts can also contribute to the deterioration of the road surface.
The amount of surface exposed is called surface area. It is the measurement of the total area that the surface of an object occupies.

On loose soil they might, ona road surface - no.
B/c when you brake, the tire will have to push against the road surface, when you accelerate, the tire will have to push against the road surface, when you corner, the tire has to push against the road surface. And every time the tire is forced agaist the road surface, a tiny, tiny bit of it is ripped loose, and eventually the tire wears out.
The camber
Erosion.
A road surface with loose gravel or sand tends to have the longest braking distance due to the reduced tire traction. When braking on loose surfaces, vehicles are more likely to skid before coming to a complete stop, increasing the distance required to brake.

it's called a slump.

Wet or icy road conditions can cause friction to reduce because surfaces become slippery, reducing the ability of tires to grip the road. Additionally, oil spills or loose gravel on the road can also decrease friction between the tires and the road surface.
The mixture of stone and tar used on road surfaces is called asphalt. It is a durable and cost-effective material that provides a smooth driving surface and helps to protect the underlying layers of the road.
