Exposure
Any form of rock is exposed on the surface of the earth.
Weathering
Exposed rock is subject to forces like wind, rain, and freezing.
Deposition
The sediments that form from these actions are often carried to other places by the wind, running water, and gravity. As they travel they lose energy and settle to earth’s surface.
Lithification
Lithification is the changing of sediments into rock. There are two processes involved in this change. They are compaction and cementation.
