1: I think the rock tumbles in the water crushing it, making it sand. 2: Something/someone smashes it, therefore breaking it. 3: It can be worn, making it break.
It goes into many different senarios that can effect its cycle.
A large piece of rock can be caused by, cracking from weather, or a being(such as a human, or a otter). Also a large rock can be hit by waves, causing it to diminish it smaller, and smoother.
It soon disolves litile by little from rubbing up against hard things and it disolves from being on the earth for a long time also from weather and erosion
A large rock becomes a small rock, when erosion and weather happens. For example, when a rock has a slight split, and the temperature gets into freezing weather, the rock could split and form smaller rocks.
A large piece of rock can become a small pice of rock by going through a process called erosion. Also if the tectonic plates make movement it could cause rocks to split.
I think that rocks can get smaller in many different ways, for instance it could get smashed against another rock, or it could worn away into smaller particles by ice, water, wind, or gravity.
The rock cycle is an ongoing process, beginning as rocks are pushed up by tectonic forces, and eroded by wind and rain. The eroded rocks travel by wind or moving water until they are deposited, settling into layers. Additional eroded rocks may bury these layers until heat and pressure change the underlying layers to metamorphic rock. More eroded rocks may squeeze and press the layers into sedimentary rocks. Rocks can also be sunk down into the lower layers of the earth by plate tectonic processes. Buried rocks may also melt and recrystallize into igneous rocks. Metamorphic, sedimentary, and igneous rocks may then be pushed up by tectonic forces, starting the rock cycle again. http://www.edu.pe.ca/southernkings/rockcycle.htm
"Mechanical or physical weathering - rocks breaking down because of atmospheric conditions ( heat, water, ice, and pressure) Chemical weathering - rocks breaking down because of a chemical reaction
Most often the two go together and they both work together breaking down the rocks.
Abrasion - Rocks hitting each other, rubbing together etc wear off small pieces - also may cause cracks, water gets in cracks and may freeze, expands further breaking of rock - chemical reaction could also take place depending on the type of rock, carbonation takes place if rock is a limestone, makes carbonic acid and that eats away at the rock
Thermal - Rock heats up during the day and gets cold at night, temperature change like that cause rock to expand and contract, causes stress and rock peels at outer edges
Frost - water in cracks freezes - expands and further cracks and chips away at rock
Salt water - Rocks near oceans etc are eaten away by the salt, salt crystals expand when heated by sun exerting pressure on the rock, eventually cracking and wearing away
Biological - moss etc growing on rocks and roots from other plants breaks them up too"
The agents of erosion are wind, water, ice and gravity. Erosion is responsible for moving material from one place to another place. Weathering is the breaking or dissolution of rock into smaller particles, and can occur because of frost wedging, acidic rainfall, wind particle abrasion, animal and plant activity, and a number of other causes. Smaller rock particles are more easily eroded.
There are two types of weathering. The first is mechanical weathering, the gradual breakdown of rock to sand, and then to silt, or powdered rock, and finally to clay through physical means.

The process that the rocks go through is that they decompose.
A large piece of rock becomes a small piece of rock because of erosion
For a rock to become smaller rock it gets smashed in pieces.
Erosion and weathering.
A large piece of rock becomes a small, by the process of erosion, also you can break it.
The rock goes through erosion.
the process of a large rock becoming a little rock is erosion.
It gets smashed and starts to crummble.
Over time with water the rock gets smaller.
A large piece of rock becomes a small piece by weathering,erosion,or you can break it.
It cracks and brakes apart

A large rock becomes a small rock through the process of erosion. Erosion is a process where things wear away from heat, snow, or water.
A large piece of rock becomes a small piece of rock because of erosion and weather too.
They become a smaller piece of rock from rust braking down the rock making into smaller rocks.
A larger piece of rock can become small, by erosion and weathering.
Over the time a larger piece of rock in the water gets scraped down with al the water banging against it so ther
for it gets smaller and smaller

A large rock shrinks due to weathering and erosion.
Rocks get smaller because of erosion.

A big rock becomes a small rock by cracking and braking apart.
A large rock becomes small because of Erosion
It gets smaller because weathering and erosion from earthquakes and glaciers.
The big rock, gets broken down by other rocks underground, and they scrape againts each other, and become smaller.
It cracks because of erosion.
The rock gets cracked into smaller pieces and that makes a smaller rock!
A large rock becomes a small rock from erosion.

rock get broken down by water and other rocker around it.
How can larger rocks get smaller they break by weather and erosion.
A big piece of rock becomes a small piece of rock because of rain and snow will break it down

It breaks because of erosion
A large rock can get smaller from erosion and weathering.

the rocks get smaller from the whether they crack ps sup guys
celia d i think because of earth quakes
A large rock becomes a small rock, when erosion and weather happens. For example, when a rock has a slight split, and the temperature gets into freezing weather, the rock could split and form smaller rocks.

A rock can get smaller through heat, such as fire, for a long time. Also weather, glaciers, and beings (such as humans a otters.)
I think the rock becomes smaller by being crushed by something heavy or crumbling off during long time periods.
i think big rocks turn into small rocks by small or big earthquakes or from heat like from sun,fire or some kind of really hot heat
A large piece of rock can become a small pice of rock by going through a process called erosion. Also if the tectonic plates make movement it could cause rocks to split.
Rocks can be crushed or heated up to melt to get smaller.

A large piece of rock becomes a small rock by erosion, then it cracks, and becomes smaller.
big rocks wear down after a long time and they get smaller and smaller until its a pebble.
I thank rocks get smaller by be melted and cooled by lava in the ground or on the surface
i think rock get smaller by hitting other objects
I think that rocks can get smaller in many different ways, for instance it could get smashed against another rock, or it could worn away into smaller particles by ice, water, wind, or gravity.

Think
Weathering and erosion are 2 of the main ways rock break down!
Think
Rocks go and change every day
loganm
a rock can get heated up,whitch causes it to break up int small particel's and chunks.It just keeps getting smaller
Gavin
I think that bigger rocks be come smaller rock because they can ether deform or can get smashed agented another rocks.
A large rock becomes a small rock by erosion, then it cracks and becomes smaller.
Erosion
A large rock becomes a small rock by erosion.
they become smaller rocks when water, wind or age erodes them.
A big rock can turn into a small rock by erosion
by gitting crush melted and many other things
kassie
I think the big rock gets smaller by going through stuff over years and years. I think
When earthquakes occur. Rocks crack and break and thats called Erosion
The big rock vibrates until it breaks? Not sure, Sorry :/
Smaller rocks are formed by erosion, then formed by the Earth.

How rocks become smaller rocks is that the get melted , earthquakes erosions and the process is called the rock cycle
It becomes smaller when weather breaks it down.

how a large rock becomes a smaller rock is by weathering and erosion breaking it down into smaller rocks
small rocks are formed by braking down from big rocks
from stuff happening from stuff from over the Years, water earthquakes, lava
How a large rock becomes a smaller rock is when Smaller rocks are formed by erosion then its formed by the Earth.
