The process of wearing rocks down into smaller pieces and then taking them away is called weathering.

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

The correct answer is weathering. Weathering is the process by which rocks are broken down into smaller pieces through various physical, chemical, and biological processes. These smaller pieces, or fragments, can then be transported and gradually carried away through erosion and deposition. Erosion refers specifically to the transportation of these weathered particles, while deposition refers to their eventual deposition or settling in a new location. Condensation, on the other hand, is a process involved in the formation of clouds and precipitation, unrelated to the wearing down of rocks.
