How are rocks and minerals different (choose 2)

• rocks are naturally occuring solid mixtures

• They are the same but have different components

• They are the same but different sizes

• Minerals are a naturally occurring inorganic solid with a definite chemical structure

How are sedimentary rocks formed?

• from magma

• formed because of changes in temperature and pressure

• formed when loose materials become pressed or cemented together.

• formed when lava cools on Earth's surface
