Weathering
Weathering is the process by which rocks and other materials on the Earth's surface are broken down and worn away by various natural forces such as wind, water, and temperature changes.
Weathered or decomposed rock refers to the process where rocks are broken down into smaller pieces through exposure to elements such as water, wind, and temperature changes. This process can lead to the formation of soil as well as changes in the chemical composition of the rock.
The process is called weathering, where rocks, minerals, and soils are broken down into smaller pieces by various factors such as water, wind, temperature changes, and biological activity. This gradual process can lead to the formation of sediment that can then be transported and deposited in different locations.
Physical weathering is the process by which rocks are broken down into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition. This can occur through processes such as freeze-thaw cycles, abrasion from wind and water, and root wedging by plants.

The process of water changing into a liquid is called condensation. This is why there is dew in the morning
Water vapor condenses into water droplets when it reaches its dew point temperature, which is the temperature at which the air is saturated with water vapor. As the temperature drops, the water vapor molecules slow down and come closer together, forming liquid water droplets. This process is known as condensation.
The process by which water vapor changes to a solid is called deposition. This occurs when water vapor in the air changes directly into ice without passing through the liquid phase. This can happen when the temperature and pressure are low enough for the water vapor to bypass the liquid phase and form ice crystals.
Rocks are broken down into sediment during the process of weathering, which involves various physical, chemical, and biological processes breaking down and disintegrating rocks into smaller particles. This can happen due to factors like temperature changes, water, wind, and biological activity.
When water condenses, it changes from a gas (water vapor) to a liquid (water droplets). This process occurs when the temperature of the water vapor decreases, causing the molecules to come together and form liquid droplets.
The temperature of the water will be the ambient (room) temperature. A broken piece of cutlery makes no difference to the temperature.
The scientific term for the process where water vapor changes to water is "condensation." This occurs when the surrounding temperature cools enough for the water vapor to lose energy and form liquid droplets.
