​ (b)   is the moving of sediments from their original position.

​ (c)   is the settling out of sediments.

​ (d)   is the process by which sediment is squeezed and glued together into a new rock.

• Weathering
• Erosion
• Deposition
• Compaction

Igneous rocks are ​ (a)   meaning that they are formed from the cooling and solidification of molten (melted) rock.
