What is the natural process that causes rocks to break down? Weathering from mechanical and chemical means is the process that causes rocks to become smaller and smaller; wind, rain, the sun, the freeze/thaw cycle, moving glaciers, chem â¦ ical reactions, and gravity are some of the causes of weathering.

When you bite into and chew a chocolate chip cookie, your teeth mechanically break the cookie down into smaller pieces.
