Answer:

Ripped apart by the wind

Step-by-step explanation:

A participle is a verb that can indicate change in the characteristics of a noun or pronoun. In this phrase the verb serves as an adjective by modifying the noun debris. A participle can be in present or in past, and the participial phrase includes the verb and some others modifiers and complements.
