Sedimentary rock is a type or classification of rock so designated by its method of formation. Minerals are inorganic naturally occurring solids, with a definite chemical composition and a crystalline structure.
How is the size of crystals in an igneous rock related to the formation of a rock?
If an igneous rock is formed from slowly cooling magma under the ground, it has more time to form crystals and so the crystals it forms are much larger than igneous rock formed from more quickly cooling magma or lava.
How does erosion contribute to the formation of caves?
By removing the rock. Most caves are in limestone and the mechanism is chemical weathering by slightly-acidic ground-water flowing through, initially, the joints and other fractures in the rock mass, later the walls and floors of the passages, anddissolving the limestoneas it does so.
Does all magma rise to the earth's surface?
No. Magma is heated rock, and under great pressure. So if a conduit opens, it may enter a rock chamber beneath the surface, cool, and solidify there. Or it may exit a vent on the ocean floor, building new seafloor. A formation of solidified magma as igneous rock within the mantle is called a pluton.
How is erosion part of the formation of sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks are, by definition, rocks that are composed of layers of sediments. Sediments are particles of rock and other materials. So if you have a rock that's being weathered and eroded, it's getting broken down and carried by water and wind. Eventually the rock will be broken down so much that what's left will be sediments. These sediments will pile on top of each other, compacting under the pressure from higher layers and creating a sedimentary rock.

WHAT ROLE DOES WEATHERING PLAY IN THE FORMATION OF WEATHERING?
weathering occurs faster in warm and rainy climate. the rate of which soil forms depends on the climate and type of rock. so soil formation is faster when weathering is quicker too.
