the sideways and downward movement of the edge of a plate of the earth's crust into the mantle beneath another plate.

# data[].attributes.body
Rock that has formed through the deposition and solidification of sediment, especially sediment transported by water (rivers, lakes, and oceans), ice ( glaciers ), and wind. Sedimentary rocks are often deposited in layers, and frequently contain fossils. Note : Limestone and shale are common sedimentary rocks.

Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or land mass. Wind, ice, water, and gravity transport previously weathered surface material, which, at the loss of enough kinetic energy in the fluid, is deposited, building up layers of sediment.

the process of eroding or being eroded by wind, water, or other natural agents.

Crystallization is the process by which a solid forms, where the atoms or molecules are highly organized into a structure known as a crystal.

volcanic activity or phenomena.

# data[].attributes.body
hot fluid or semifluid material below or within the earth's crust from which lava and other igneous rock is formed by cooling.

# data[].attributes.body
alteration of the composition or structure of a rock by heat, pressure, or other natural agency.

# data[].attributes.body
The process by which the porosity of a given form of sediment is decreased as a result of its mineral grains being squeezed together by the weight of overlying sediment or by mechanical means.

Lithification  is the process in which sediments compact under pressure, expel connate fluids, and gradually become solid rock.
