The process of rocks being worn away by other rocks and sand is called "abrasion." This occurs when particles are transported by wind, water, or ice, and they collide with and wear down the surfaces of rocks. Over time, this can lead to smoother surfaces and the gradual erosion of rock formations.
Yes
The process of rocks being worn down and altered over time is called weathering. This can occur through physical processes (such as wind and water erosion) or chemical processes (like oxidation and hydration).
All I know is it either could be deposit, hydraulic action, erosion, attrition, abrasion, transport, longshore drift.
The term erosion could be applied to the weathering of the surface of the earth. As water and the particulate matter it carries sweep over rocks, the softer ones will be worn away, will erode, more quickly than the harder ones. In the event of violent flooding when a massive increase in water flow churns river beds, rocks can be picked up and slammed together. Again it will be the softer materials that will be broken up more than the harder ones.

Rocks are worn away through the process of weathering and erosion. Weathering is the breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces while erosion is what carries the rock to new places. Rocks can be worn away by water, ice, and wind. Examples of this are abrasion, ice wedging, and dissolution.
Rocks wear away because slowly,wind/water take away tiny pieces of dust and slowly it gets worn away.
Essentially, the only types of rock that can stand up to this type of erosion are igneous and metamorphic rocks. I am not certain there is a technical or scientific term for this type of rock, but the colloquial or "slang" term for them is river rocks.
The process of rocks getting worn and breaking into pieces is known as weathering. This can be caused by various factors such as water, wind, temperature changes, and biological activity.

The process you are describing is called erosion. Erosion occurs when rocks or soil are gradually worn away by natural forces such as water, wind, or ice.
Pointe shoes come shiny. If the shine in your pointe shoes is gone, it probably means it was a) worn out or b) rubbed off with a chemical. You can not make them shiny again. Purchase new ones. ;)
