Magma cools into igneous rock. The igneous rock is uplifted to the surface and weathered by freeze/thaw cycles, acidic rainfall and plant root growth into smaller particles which are eroded and eventually settle as sand on the ocean floor. As more and more sand accumulates, the sand particles can lithify into sandstone, a sedimentary rock. With increasing depth, or from proximity to a heat source, the sandstone particles can recrystallize, forming the metamorphic rock quartzite.
