When igneous rocks are crushed and compacted into sediment
Erosion
The processes would be, in order of their occurrence: weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation.
Erosion would most likely lead to deposition, compaction, and cementation, processes involved in the creation of sedimentary rock.
Uranium is the element that decays at a rate that relates to the sample. Uranium is the element that decays at a rate that relates to the sample.
lead is not a rock but the rock 'Galena' is and it is a sedimentary rock.

The large rock weathers. Its particles are eroded to a place of deposition. The particles are compacted and cemented together, forming a new sedimentary rock. This is a simplified explanation of the process.
Zinc is a mineral in its natural state as sphalerite (ZnS), which is a compound of Zinc and Sulphur. It is normally found along with other igneous type minerals such as copper, lead and iron.

Erosion. If a metamorphic rock is exposed above sea level it will erode or weather, the products from this erosion or weathering will be moved by gravity, wind or water to a sea or basin where the products will settle as a sediment. If the conditions are right the sediment will eventually become a sedimentary rock.

sedimentary rock formed by the denudational process of various activity. the sediments in sea water may deposited and thus lead to the formation of sedimentary rock
Galena is a mineral, not a rock, but is commonly found emplaced in sedimentary rock from hydrothermal deposition in faults and fissures.
Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed by the weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction and cementation of other rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks however may be precipitated directly from saturated solutions (examples incldue the evaporitic rocks and certain types of carbonates such as oolitic limestones). Some other sedimentary rocks may be biogenic in origin (such as the linmestones that are formed of coral reefs).
lead is not a rock but the rock 'Galena' is and it is a sedimentary rock.
Sedimentary rocks are formed on or near the Earth’s surface, in contrast to metamorphic and igneous rocks, which are formed deep within the Earth. The most important geological processes that lead to the creation of sedimentary rocks are erosion, weathering, dissolution, precipitation, and lithification.
