A student obtains a cup of quartz sand from a beach. A saltwater solution is poured into the sand and allowed to evaporate. The mineral residue from the saltwater solution cements the sand grains together, forming a material that is most similar to:

An intrusive igneous rock.
A sedimentary rock.
A metamorphic rock.
Sedimentary rocks are created by...
cementation/compaction
extreme heat and pressure
volcanic eruptions
oxygenation of metals found in rocks.
When sediments cement together that means that they are...
