The process of breaking apart rocks by wind rain and temperature?
erosion
What process affects all rocks after they have formed?
Erosion. Exposed to elements such as wind and water, rocks can start to erode away.
What are three weathering forces that help change rocks into soil?
Wind, rain, heat
In a dessert soil containing a mixture of sand and small rocks is exposed to wind erosion.?
The wind will blow the sand away from the desert soil, leaving the small rocks to create a gravelly surface.
Why are the rocks big at the bottom of the soil profile?
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.
