IGNEOUS: Specifically The Rock Cycle

ROCK CYCLE
1. Weathering
  1. Transportation
    1. Erosion
      1. Deposition
        Burial
        Compaction
        Cementation
        The sticking together of rock sediment (precipitation of minerals as cement)
        The process of sediment layers building up over time; by younger layers of sediment
        The placement/deposit of rock or sediment due to loss of energy
      2. Wearing away and smoothing of a rock by transportation
    2. The process of a rock being moved (sediment); water/wind/ice/gravity
  2. Breaking down of a rock due to either physical/biological/chemical elements
2. MAGMA
  1. IGNEOUS
    1. SEDIMENTARY

DIAGENESIS
1. All of the previously mentioned processes at low temperatures and pressures at the earths surface (200° + 200 Mpa's)
  1. This is what allows sediment from the rock cycle to become sedimentary
  2. This process again...
