How does sedimentary rock form?

• From sediments through compaction and cementation

• From magma cooling

• By melting existing rocks

• Through heat and pressure

• Heat and pressure

• Melting and cooling

• Cooling and solidification

What are sediments?

• hot liquid rock

• pieces of weathered rocks

• rocks from magma cooling

• rocks under heat and pressure
