Answer:

ITS WEATHERING

Step-by-step explanation:

Solid rock is broken down into sediment by the processes of weathering. The process of erosion then carries away small bits of rock with wind or water. Once this material is deposited, it can then be transformed into sedimentary rock by the processes of compaction and cementation.
