This process happens when sediment settles on the floor of rivers, lakes and oceans.

• weathering

• erosion

• cementation

• deposition

This part of the rock forming process is from the weight of new sediment layers being deposited on top of older layers.

NGSS.MS-ESS2-1

This rock was formed when magma cooled very slowly inside the Earth. What specific type of rock is it?

• Intrusive Igneous Rock
• Extrusive Igneous Rock
• Foliated Metamorphic Rock
• Clastic Sedimentary Rock

This rock formed when lava cooled very quickly on Earth's surface. What specific type of rock is it?

• Extrusive Igneous Rock
• Intrusive Igneous Rock
• Non-Foliated Metamorphic Rock

This rock was formed by smaller pieces of rock that settled at the bottom of a lake millions of years ago. What type of rock is this?

• Sedimentary - clastic
