​ (a)   the process of rock breaking down into smaller pieces due to wind or moving water

• weathering

• uplift

• rock formation

• metamorphic rock

Answer explanation

Weathering is the process of rock breaking down into smaller pieces due to natural forces like wind or moving water. This distinguishes it from uplift, rock formation, and metamorphic rock, which involve different geological processes.
