| Cooling | The process of reducing heat fast or slow can change how crystal form and rocks harden |
| Weathering | The natural breakdown of rocks into particles, usually by rain, ice and wind. The particles become soil and do not move. |
| Erosion | Running water or wind loose and carry away the fragments of rock |
| Deposition | The process by which sediment settles out or drops out of wind or water |
| Compaction | The action of sediment being pressed together to form rocks |
| Cementation | Dissolved minerials glue particles together |
| Lithification | The process of sediments turning into rock |
| Crystalization | These rocks are solid with atoms that grow in a regular or repeated pattern |
| Exposure | This process is when rocks are left out in the elements of the Earth |
| Pressure | This process in different directions can squeeze and change the structure and pattern in rocks |
| Igneous | Rock from Magma |
| Metamorphic | changed rock |
| Sedmentary | rock made from sediments |
| Convergent | plates come together |
| Divergent | plates spread apart |
| transform | plates slide past each other |
| plate | part of Earth's crust |
| plate tectonics | the process of moving parts of crust |
| sediment | bits of broken rock piling up in layers |
| magma | liquid rock |
