The essential steps in Star formation

Generally we can find the following essential steps in most star formation proceeds:
Step 1: initial collapse.
The shock waves from supernovae explosions start collapsing under gravity into stars.
Step 2: the cloud fragments into clumps that form individual stars.
Step 3: The clumps collapse into a stars.
When the gas gets sufficiently compressed that it is dense and hot enough that the pressure balances the gravitational force, and the collapse stops.
