Rocks are classified into three groups based on how they are formed. Igneous rock is formed when magma cools and crystallizes. Sedimentary rock is formed when the products of weathering and erosion are compacted and cemented to form new rock. Metamorphic rock is formed when existing rock is changed by heat, pressure or chemical change into a new kind of rock.

Yes. Sandstone is considered as a clastic sedimentary rock because it is formed from small particles of weathered and eroded rocks from various sources.
It can be. Limestone can be derived from precipitating minerals, in which case it is a chemical sedimentary rock. It can also be formed from the remains of marine organisms, in which case it is described as a bioclastic sedimentary rock, a form of detrital rock.
Metamorphic rocks are formed from existing rocks that undergo changes in temperature, pressure, or chemical reactions due to processes like heat and pressure from deep within the Earth's crust. These existing rocks can be sedimentary, igneous, or even other metamorphic rocks that get transformed into a new type of rock.
Sandstone is a common type of sedimentary rock, formed from sand grains that have been compacted and cemented together over time.
a metamorphic rock is one which is formed from transforming pre existing rocks

There's an example of some beautiful sedimentary rock a little farther down the gorge.

Limestone and sandstone. The rock needs to be one that's formed from sedimentation around the dead animal.
there are 4 bill bob and jerry and the one in abi's head she likes to call a brain Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic.
Sandstone is one possible form.
organic/biochemical sedimentary rocks are formed of once-living organisms
No, lava cooling is a way igneous rocks are formed. Sedimentary rocks are typically formed through the accumulation and compression of sediments like sand, mud, and organic material over time.
