• sedimentary

• igneous

• metamorphic

Erosion, wind, and weathering form this type of rock.

• sedimentary

• igneous

• metamorphic

As rock gets buried through tectonic movement, the pressure and heat causes these types of rocks to form.

• sedimentary

• igneous

• metamorphic

Igneous rock is formed when

• magma and lava cool

• erosion layers rock

• Rock composition changes do to plate burial
