From sediments--'lithification'. Changing from one rock into a different rock--'metamorphism'. From the cooling of magma--'igneous solidification'. The last one there (igneous solidification) is questionable. Must be a better term.

∙ 12y agoThere are two terms to be used:
- Weathering - the wearing away of rocks in situ
- Erosion - the wearing away and taking away of rocks
Both are responsible for the production of sediment, but mostly erosion as the sediment is then carried by the body which removed is as sediment, rather than lying as scree, which is not quite the same.
