Rocks - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Pressure associated with burial. Pressure comes from all sides.
      - Pressure on any point is equal in all directions, similar to a balloon held under water
    - - Greater in one direction than others. Pressure comes from mostly one direction.
      - Squeezing of rocks, such as caused by converging tectonic plates
  - - - Hydrothermal solutions are the fluids that help move minerals by dissolving original minerals and then depositing new ones.
        
        A hydrothermal solution is a very hot mixture of water (between 100c and 300c) and dissolved substances
        
        When these solutions come into contact with existing minerals, chemical reactions take place to form new minerals
        
        Also, when these solutions cool, some of the elements in them combine to form minerals such as quartz and pyrite
