Earth's Layers and Rock Cycle
Igneous
Sedimentary
Metamorphic
Which type of rock forms
when other rock is 
changed by heat and pressure?
The process of weathering creates ____________
which are eroded and deposited in a body of 
water.  They are compacted and cemented
together to create rock.  This takes
millions of years.
