Which statement best describes how sedimentary rock is formed?

• Flowing magma cooled quickly, creating many uneven layers

• Extreme pressure melted and formed minerals in uneven layers.

• Layers of mineral deposits were compressed over a long time period.

• Separate layers of lava cooled over time, hardening at different rates
