Smaller sediments break apart only large rocks through deflation.
Deflation occurs when the wind blows away loose sediment, such as sand and dust, from the surface of the ground. Over time, this process can cause rocks to become exposed and erode. When the wind blows against large rocks, the smaller sediments and particles in the wind can act like sandpaper, slowly grinding away at the rock surface and causing the rock to become smaller and smoother.
This process of deflation can affect the size of rocks, causing them to become smaller and smoother over time. The rate of deflation depends on several factors, including the strength of the wind, the type of rock, and the type of sediment that is being blown away.
Therefore, deflation can play a role in shaping the size of rocks through a process of wind erosion, which gradually breaks apart large rocks into smaller pieces.
