32
Rocks formed from great heat and pressure
Metamorphic rock
33
Formed from cooling and hardening magma
Igneous rock
34
Breaking down of rocks into smaller particles
Weathering
35
The process by which rock fragments and sediments are carried along by agents like wind and running water
Erosion
36
The process by which rock fragments and sediments are carried by agents of erosion are are dropped or deposited in other places
Deposition
37
The process by which rock fragments and other materials that accumulated, usually at the bottom of a thick column of water, get cemented together and hardened into rock
Compacting
38
A change in the constitution of a rock brought about by pressure, heat and chemical action resulting in a more compact and highly crystalline condition of the rock
