erosion
melting
metamorphosis
tectonic processes

Explanation:

Erosion is a surface event. It involves the wearing away and transportation of rock and soil by agents like water, wind, ice, etc. Melting occurs at high temperatures (usually within the Earth's interior). Metamorphosis happens due to heat and pressure (often in the Earth's interior). Tectonic processes are related to the movement of the Earth's lithospheric plates (mostly in the Earth's interior or at plate boundaries).

A. Erosion
