Heat & pressure - forces exerted on rock as it is moved deep below the surface at a subduction zone causing melting.

Weathering - the breakdown of parent rock material into smaller pieces eventually forming soil.

Erosion - the removal of the top layer of soil from an area

Cooling of magma or lava and crystallization - the process that takes place as magma/lava cools and hardens into rock

Deposition - the depositing of small rocks, sand, silt, and clay as water or wind slows to a speed that can no longer support the weight of the rock or particle.

  2. Sedimentary rock formation-

    Weathering, erosion and deposition all lead to the final stage of lithification or compaction, steps in clastic sedimentary rock formation.

    Igneous rock formation-

    Cooling of magma below the earth's surface or lava at the surface is part of the igneous rock forming process.

  3. Every one except cooling of magma. Magma makes an igneous rock. Heat and pressure are involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks but not the way this is written.
