Answer:

When Magma rises to Earth's surface, it begins to cool down due to oxygen. Once it hardens, it will be known as an igneous rock. It will then be broken down by erosion which is the state of some matter being broken down into a smaller more seperarted matterwhich will turn in into pebbles, mud, or sand, deppenidng what breaks it down. It will then create sediment, which will turn into basins on the Earth's crust.

Magma rises to Earth's surface, such as through a volcanic eruption, where it cools and hardens into igneous rock. On the surface, weathering and erosion break down the igneous rock into pebbles, sand, and mud, creating sediment, which accumulates in basins on the Earth's surface.
