The naturally occurring breaking of rocks into smaller pieces is called physical (or mechanical) weathering. The other forms are biological and chemical weathering. All result in the diminution in size of the original rock.
The breaking up of rocks into sediments is called weathering. Weathering can be physical (mechanical) or chemical in nature, and it is a key process in the formation of sedimentary rocks.
The breaking down of rocks is weathering. Their movement from one place to another place is erosion.
It is actually called weathering, but if your talking about the process of rocks breaking down into smaller pieces by physical means it is called Mechanical Weathering, by chemical means it is called Chemical Weathering.

Physical weathering is breaking down of rocks by weather that does not change their chemical components. Chemical weathering is weathering that breaks rocks down by a chemical change.

Weathering ,
Three weathering forces that help change rocks into soil are physical weathering, chemical weathering, and biological weathering. Physical weathering involves the breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces through processes like freezing and thawing. Chemical weathering involves the chemical alteration of minerals within rocks, while biological weathering involves the action of plants, animals, and microorganisms breaking down rocks.
