Definitions:

Remobilization

The process by which sedimentary deposits are eroded and transported to be deposited again in a new location.

Pressure Solution

A diagenetic process where mineral grains partially dissolve under high stress, typically in wet conditions, allowing deformation.

Regional Metamorphism

The process of transformation of rocks by heat and pressure over wide areas of the Earth's crust, typically associated with mountain building.

Low Pressure

A condition in the atmosphere where the air pressure is lower than the surrounding area, often leading to cloud formation and precipitation.
