F)Pressure that is unequal in different directions, such as results from the convergence of tectonic plates (mountain-building)
G)A substance that forms when carbon dioxide in the air combines with water. It is an important agent of chemical weathering.
H)Pressure that is equal in every direction, such as results from the burial of sediments
