When sediment lands into piles and makes sedimentary rock, we call it...

• Deposits

• Deposition

• Dirtification

• Desalinization

What kind of rock does each rock start as?

• Igneous

• Metamorphic

If rocks get hot enough to melt, we will end up with...

• Igneous rock

• Magma

• Soot

• None of these

Volcanic activity produces...

• Igneous rock

• Sedimentary rock

• Metamorphic rock

• None of these

After weathering and erosion we will always en up with
