Answer:

Sedimentary - A rock formed as a result of the weathering process, either by compaction and cementation of rock mineral fragments, or the precipitation of dissolved minerals. ... Metamorphic - These rocks form as existing rocks are subjected to intense heat and/or pressure, usually over long periods of time.

The rock cycle is a basic concept in geology that describes transitions through geologic time among the three main rock types: sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous. Each rock type is altered when it is forced out of its equilibrium conditions.
Forces like wind and water break down rocks through the processes of weathering and erosion. Weathering is the process that breaks down rocks. ... Weathering and erosion help shape Earth's surface. They are part of a process called the rock cycle.
