Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sedimentary rocks form by the cementing together of grains broken off preexisting rocks or by the precipitation of mineral crystals out of water solutions at or near the Earth's surface. Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava, while metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of preexisting rocks due to heat, pressure, and/or chemical activity. Meteorites are fragments of asteroids or other celestial bodies that have survived passage through the Earth's atmosphere and landed on the Earth's surface.
