Question

drag the missing word into place
sandstone is one type of rock, as you can see by its different layers of sediments.
igneous
metamorphic
sedimentary

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and lithification of sediments. Sandstone is composed of sand - sized particles (quartz, feldspar, etc.) that are deposited in layers (strata). The presence of different layers of sediments is a characteristic feature of sedimentary rocks. Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava, and they do not have the layered sedimentary structure. Metamorphic rocks are formed from the alteration of pre - existing rocks due to heat, pressure, and chemical processes, and they also do not typically have the sediment - based layered structure like sandstone.

Answer:

sedimentary
