What process is used to form sedimentary rocks?

• Lava cools and hardens to form a rock.

• Bits of sand and gravel form layers that turn into rock from pressure.

• Extreme heat and pressure from inside the Earth turn rocks into new rocks.

• Magma trapped under the Earth's surface cools and solidifies.
