weathering
erosion
deposition

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the definitions:

• Weathering is the process of rocks breaking down or wearing away (due to natural forces like wind, water, temperature).
• Erosion involves transporting the broken - down rock (not just breaking it).
• Deposition is the laying down of eroded material (not breaking rocks).

So the term for the wearing down or breaking of rocks is weathering.
