weathering
These will form reverse or thrust faults.
It is called Erosion.
Faulting is a type of brittle deformation; rocks crack and then move along those cracks. Deep inside Earth rocks are hotter and softer, so they will deform in a ductile manner, stretching and flowing like taffy.
A process that alters rocks as a result of heat generated from magma
The answer is erosion. This includes the chemical and solution break up of rocks, and their transport to another place. Aerial erosion is the process of moving sand and dusts by wind. Fluvial erosion is the same process but carried out by water, and this can move much larger particles. And the coasts are subject to erosion by the waves and the salt.
Deposition is the process where sediment, soil, or other materials are deposited or laid down in a new location by wind, water, or ice. It occurs when the energy transporting the material decreases, causing it to settle out and accumulate. Deposition is an important part of the geological cycle and can lead to the formation of sedimentary rocks over time.
rocks and minerals are carried around by either wind, water, or ice
It moves by different rocks and soils are carried from the water and is buried under bigger holes and rocks.
Metamorphism is a PROCESS. metamorphism is the process of change that occurs to rocks when they are subject to heat, pressure or both.
Weathering and erosion.
Abrasion. (~the process of scraping or wearing away)
Hydration
The process called weathering is responsible for the breaking up and wearing away of the Earth's rocks. The broken up rocks are then carried away by the process of erosion.
What is the process in which rocks ate broken down into smaller pieces by ice, water
Although sedimentary rocks form in a variety of processes, the first process that would occur in the formation of the most common sedimentary rocks would be that of weathering, which is the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces through chemical or mechanical means by nature.
Desert erosion is mainly caused by grains of sand carried on the wind - acting like sandpaper against rocks.
The Asthenosphere.
