Where and how is weathering erosion and transportation are part of the rock cycle?

Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, which are then transported by erosion agents such as water, wind, or ice. These sediments are then transported to new locations where they can be deposited and potentially lithified into new rocks through processes like compaction and cementation. This cycle continually repeats over long periods of time, contributing to the continual transformation and recycling of Earth's rocks.
