The processes which break down rocks

Real World Example

Imagine the frustration of trying to unwrap a stubborn candy wrapper that just won't come off in one piece. Just like how persistent fingers work to peel away the wrapper bit by bit, weathering breaks down rocks over time through various processes. In this analogy, your persistent fingers are like the forces of nature—such as wind, water, and temperature changes—gradually wearing away the rock layer by layer, much like the wrapper around the candy.
