Why are all rocks different sizes?

Rocks come in different sizes due to the various geological processes involved in their formation. Factors such as the type of rock, the environment in which it was formed, and the amount of time it has been exposed to weathering and erosion all contribute to the different sizes we see in rocks. Additionally, the transportation and deposition of rocks by rivers, glaciers, or wind can also influence their size distribution.

Why do rocks come in different shapes and sizes?

Rocks break apart from force and heat. Water, freezing, thawing, and wind break rocks into smaller portions.
