The majority of new rock from the selection of answers originally posted (see discussion) is formed at mid-ocean ridges.
Earthquakes can occur on Earth's surface when there is a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust. Volcanic eruptions can happen when molten rock, ash, and gases are expelled from a volcano onto the surface. Landslides can occur when a mass of rock, earth, or debris moves down a slope due to factors like gravity, water, or human activity.
Weathering, erosion, and deposition are processes in the rock cycle that occur only on the Earth's surface. These processes break down rocks into smaller pieces and transport them to different locations, shaping the Earth's landscape over time.
Convection currents occur in the mantle, which is the middle layer of the Earth. The heat generated from the core causes the molten rock in the mantle to move in a circular pattern, creating convection currents.
released, causing the rock to break and generate vibrations that propagate through the Earth. These vibrations are known as seismic waves and can be detected and measured by seismographs to study the structure and movement of the Earth's crust.
Convection occurs in the mantle layer of the Earth. This process involves the movement of molten rock and heat within the mantle, which drives plate tectonics and other geologic phenomena.
Scientists call lava the newest rock on earth because it hasn't even cooled into igneous rock yet, making it effectively 0 days old.
The crust is the upper layer of the earth. It is where the movement of plates occur due to which earthquakes occur. The Earth's crust is a thin layer of rock, like skin on an apple.

Natural emeralds occur in the earth around active volcanic regions. Magma seeps into the earth heating the rock, causing it to melt. If the heated rock has chromium and beryllium in it, when it cools emeralds can form.
the compaction and heat under the layers of the Earth causes this process to occur
