Sedimentary Rock- Rock that has formed through the deposition and solidification of sediment.

Metamorphic Rock- Rock that was once one form of rock but has changed to another under the influence of heat, pressure.

Igneous Rock- Is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.

Weathering- The action of the weather conditions in altering the color, texture, composition, or form of exposed objects.

Erosion- A type of weathering in which surface soil and rock are worn away through the action of glaciers, water, and wind.

Cementation- The binding together of particles or other cement.
