meteorite.
The object that does work on the rock as it falls is called the force of gravity. Gravity pulls the rock downward toward the center of the Earth, causing it to accelerate as it falls. This force is a result of the gravitational attraction between the rock and the Earth.
A piece of granite can be changed from an igneous rock to a sedimentary rock, and then to a metamorphic rock as it gets buried deeper within the Earth's crust.
A small piece of rock beginning with "so" could be "soil", which is a mixture of minerals, organic matter, water, and air that supports plant growth.
That is a meteorite. It is a solid piece of debris from space that survives its journey through Earth's atmosphere and lands on the surface. Meteorites can be made of rock, metal, or a combination of both.
In casual language, "rock" and "stone" are often used interchangeably to refer to a small piece of mineral matter. However, in geology, a "rock" is a larger formation made up of one or more minerals, while a "stone" can also refer to a small piece of rock.
