Sedimentary

Multiple Choice

I may be made from small bits of rock, soil, fossils, shells, and the remains of plants.

 

Over time, I am compressed and cemented to form rock.

 

What type of Rock am I?

• Igneous Rock

I am formed when other types of rock experience heat and pressure.

 

The heat and pressure cause the particles of the rock to change.
