Wave Rock, Australia
This concave rock formation is part of the northern side of Hyden Rock located in Hyden Wildlife Park, Western Australia. It is made of granite and estimated at 2.7 billion years old. The wave shape formed over the years by the action of running water weathering the middle faster than the top. The streaks on its face are minerals that were deposited by rainwater runoff.

Answer: It would most likely be Erosion i think.

Explanation:Erosion happens when rocks and sediments are picked up and moved to another place by ice, water, wind or gravity. Mechanical weathering physically breaks up rock. ... Over time pieces of rock can split off a rock face and big boulders are broken into smaller rocks and gravel.
