The answer is: it is converted to soil

soil is the upper layers of the earth that made up of small rock particles combined with water, air, and various particles from dead organisms. Soil could be formed when a rock is experiencing constant force that gradually reduce its shape into smaller particles (could be by being placed on the stream of water or places that have high wind pressure)
