A convection cell in the atmosphere formed by air that rises at 60N and 60S and sinks at the poles, 90N and 90S

Breakdown of rocks and minerals by chemical reactions ad dissolving of a rocks chemical elements. Alters newly exposed/primary minerals to make secondary minerals

Plates move towards one another. Continental + Continental = Mountains. Oceanic goes under land, forms mountains and volcanoes. Oceanic goes under other oceanic

Lie underneath ocean. Dense and rich in iron

The heating effect of incresed pressure on air as it sinks toward the surface of Earth and decreases in volume

A convection current in the atmosphere that cycles between the equator and 30N and 30S

The cooling effect of reduced pressure on air as it rises higher in the atmosphere and expands

Other rick types subjected to high temps and pressure causing physical and chemicals changes. Pressure creates distorted bands called foliation
