# data[].attributes.body
a geological process that takes place at convergent boundaries of tectonic plates where one plate moves under another and is forced or sinks due to gravity into the mantle.

# data[].attributes.body
sediment is a naturally occurring material that is broken down by processes of weathering and erosion, and is subsequently transported by the action of wind, water, or ice, and/or by the force of gravity acting on the particles.

# data[].attributes.body
The process by which water, ice, wind, or gravity moves fragments of rock and soil.

# data[].attributes.body
the action of surface processes that removes soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, and then transport it away to another location.

# data[].attributes.body
the breaking down of rocks, soil, and minerals as well as wood and artificial materials through contact with the Earth's atmosphere, water, and biological organisms

# data[].attributes.body
Crystallization is the process by which a solid forms, where the atoms or molecules are highly organized into a structure known as a crystal.

# data[].attributes.body
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.

# data[].attributes.body
the process in which sediments compact under pressure, expel connate fluids, and gradually become solid rock.

# 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.
