weathering breaks rocks on earths surface
The combination of weathering and erosion exposes buried rock at the Earth's surface. Weathering breaks down the rock into smaller pieces, while erosion transports these pieces away, eventually revealing the rock at the surface.

Mostly the sedimentary part which involves the process of weathering, and diagenesis occurs at the earths surface.
When a rock is exposed at the Earth's surface, it will undergo weathering, where it breaks down or decays due to various processes like physical, chemical, or biological factors. Over time, weathering can cause the rock to fragment into smaller pieces and eventually contribute to the formation of soil.
Igneous rock that forms below the Earth's surface is intrusive.
The process that breaks down rock above the earths surface are numerous and could be generally reffered to as Exogenous Processes, they include, Weathering, Denudation and Mass-wasting.

Denudational processes, which includes, weathering, erosion, deformation, and exfoliation. Mass movement also plays a great role in changing the earths surface.

The process is called erosion.

Molton rock that flows from a volcano onto Earths surface is
Lava is molten rock. The rock deep inside the earths mantle is always molten, and when it occasionally breaks through to the surface, the opening is called a volcano, and the liquid rock spilling out of the top is lava.
