🗑
what affects rockin earth   pressure  
🗑
a rock on earths surface is affected by   weathering and erosion

rocks that are partially or completlly melted   magma  
🗑
igneous rock at the earths surface that is weathered and wears away   sediment  
🗑
sediment that washes down into rivers and oceans and is pressed and cemented together   sedimentary rock  
🗑
the process in which water wind ice and heat break down rock is called   weathering
