Spheroidal weathering
The gradual rounding of the corners and edges of angular blocks of rock is called weathering. Weathering is the process by which rocks and minerals are broken down into smaller pieces over time due to exposure to the elements, such as wind, water, and temperature changes. This process causes the sharp edges and corners of rocks to become smoother and rounded.

Spheroidal boulders form through a process called spheroidal weathering, where rocks break down along their edges and corners due to chemical and physical weathering. This creates a more rounded shape over time as the corners and edges are eroded away, producing spheroidal boulders.
The corners and edges of an angular fracture bounded granitic block show the highest rate of weathering because they have more surface area exposed to weathering agents such as water and air. The sharp angles and edges of the block are more susceptible to erosion and fracturing due to the expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes.
A cube has 6 faces. It also has 12 edges and 8 corners. Cubes are a three dimensional structure.
