Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have changed. The word comes from the Greek "meta" and "morph" which means to change form. Metamorphic rocks were originally igneous or sedimentary, but due to movement of the earth's crust, were changed.

Sedimentary rocks cover about three-fourths of the surface of the continents. There are three kinds of sedimentary rocks: clastic, chemical, and organic. Clastic sedimentary rocks form from the consolidation of material such as gravel, sand, or clay (sediment) derived from the weathering and breakdown of rocks.

The clastic sedimentary rocks form from the compaction of rock fragments, while the chemical sedimentary rocks form by the precipitation of elements. Sandstone is a common clastic sedimentary rock formed by the compaction and cementation of sand (quartz grains).
