The process in which rock is broken down into

smaller pieces is –

• erosion

• weathering

• deposition

• compaction

When water enters the cracks in a large rock

and freezes, the water expands. Over time,

water freezing and thawing –

• erodes the large rock through a river

• weathers the rock into sediments

• deposits lava in a new place

• changes the rock into a glacier
