It is the breaking down of rocks into fragments.

• erosion

• flooding

• runoff

• weathering

A type of weathering that involves a change in the composition of the rock.

• chemical

• mechanical

• both chemical and mechanical

• physical

They cause weathering by scratching on the rocks’ surface as they walk or run around.

• animals

• plants

• water

• wind

The rocks are broken into small pieces of different shapes without changing their original composition. (MEHNACLCIA)
