Dissolves

Explanation:

Sediment is a rock material that forms where rocks are broken down into smaller pieces or dissolved in water as rocks erode.

• Weathering can be defined as the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soil.
• The first part of the statement describes physical disintegration of rocks where they get broken down into smaller chunks.
