Answer:

sedimentary - pieces of rock are loosened by weathering, then transported to some basin or depression where sediment is trapped. If the sediment is buried deeply, it becomes compacted and cemented, forming sedimentary rock.

igneous - form when hot, molten rock crystallizes and solidifies.

Step-by-step explanation:

metamorphic - forms when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure, hot mineral-rich fluids or, more commonly, some combination of these factors.
