  • Molten rock above the surface is called Lava
  • Erosion is the overall process of the breakup of rock and their transport away from their original location
  • Chemical weathering happens when rain falls on rocks
  • Biological weathering happens when plants and Animals break up rocks.
  • Compaction the weight of sediments above squashes tother the sediments below
  • Sedimentary rocks are made from different processes starting with weathering erosion transportation deposition compaction cementation
