Question

wind and rain break down a large rock into smaller pieces over time. which process in the rock cycle is described? a lithification b crystallization c weathering d metamorphism

Explanation:

Weathering is the process by which rocks are broken down by physical (like wind - abrasion) or chemical (like rain - water reacting with rock minerals) means into smaller pieces. Lithification is the process of turning sediments into rock, crystallization is the formation of crystals from a melt or solution, and metamorphism is the change in the mineralogy and texture of a rock due to high - pressure and high - temperature conditions.

Answer:

C. Weathering
