of magma or lava
rocks formed from
sediments that have

ocean, stream or pond
sediment

forces that cause rocks
to break down into
smaller pieces
wind and rain
wind and water

lava to cool
Created by A. Wong, Sugarland ES
pressure
to push or press down
heat, pressure,
weathering, and
erosion
processes that
change rocks
