Water: Sediment (small pieces of rocks and minerals) breaks off of rocks in the water. Moving water carries the sediment and it rubs against other rocks. | arrow_right_alt | |
Ice (Freeze-Thaw): Water gets in tiny holes or cracks in rocks. When the water freezes it expands. This happens repeatedly. | arrow_right_alt |

Plants (Vegetation): Roots grow into cracks in a rock and break it apart. Moss and lichen grow on rocks and break rocks down. | arrow_right_alt |
