4. Hydrolysis: Occurs when water reacts chemically with minerals in rock to produce new substances.
5. Oxidation: Oxygen in water combines chemically with substances in rock.
6. Convergent Plate Boundary: A boundary where plates push together.
7. Impermeable Rock: A rock that fluid cannot move through.
8. Divergent Plate Boundary: A boundary where plates pull apart.
9. Metamorphism: The changing of one type of rock into another due to heat and pressure.
