The types of rock that can form sediment when they are weathered is D. Igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. (When the molten rock cools it forms an igneous rock. Metamorphic rocks can form from either sedimentary or igneous rocks. The sedimentary particles from which a sedimentary rock is formed can be derived from a metamorphic, an igneous, or another sedimentary rock. All three rock types can be melted to form a magma.)

Weathering is a chemical process in which the soil is broken down or dissolving of minerals and rocks on the Earth's surface.

Rock Type formed After Weathering

  • Sedimentary rocks are formed on or near the Earth's surface. Erosion and Weathering can result in the formation of sedimentary rocks.

  • Sedimentary rocks are made from solid particles that were weathered from the previous types of rocks.

  • Sedimentary rocks are dolomites, ore, limestones, and rock salt. Organic sedimentary rocks are formed by the accumulation of animal and plant debris.

Thus, sedimentary rocks are formed when the soils are weathered.
