• Weathering

• Rock Cycle

This is when wind, water, and ice move sediments from one place to another

• Weathering
• Deposition
• Rock Cycle

This type of rock is made when sediments are compacted and cemented over a long period of time.

• Sedimentary Rock
• Metamorphic Rock
• Igneous Rock
• Minerals

This is when sediments are squeezed, or pressed together because of pressure.

• Compaction
• Cementation
• Sedimentation
