Review the rock cycle

AB
Igneous Rockformed when magma/lava cools
Sedimentary Rockformed when sediments are cemented and compacted
Metamorphic rockFormed by heat and pressure
Magmamolten rock under the earth's crust
Erosionthe process of sediment being carried by wind, water and ice
Weatheringthe process of breaking up rocks due to weather
CompactionAs the layers build up, they begin to press down on that first layer of sediment, pushing most of the air and water out of it, pushing the particles closer together
Depositionwhen sediments that are transported to another place and settle
Sedimentssmall pieces of rock
Cementationloose sediments are glued together by natural glues like calcite and silica
