15. Melting Crystallisation of magma Igneous rocks Uplift Weathering Erosion and transport Deposition of sediment Burial and compaction Sedimentary rocks Metamorphism Metamorphic rocks Rocks become liquid from the intense heat of the mantle. Magma cools to form igneous rocks. Tectonic processes lift the igneous rocks to the surface. Rocks are weathered. Rocks are eroded and transported. Rocks are deposited and laid down in layers. Previous deposits are buried by new ones, the weight of these compacts the layers, other minerals help bind them together- cementation. Rocks are under intense heat and pressure due to tectonic processes, minerals within them react to each other- change the texture and composition of the rock.
