Sedimentary Rocks: Rocks formed from sediments (tiny pieces) of eroded rocks and sometimes once-living organic materials.
Erosion: A process in which something is broken down over time by wind, water, or other natural forces.
Metamorphic Rocks: Rocks changed from one form to another by extreme heat or pressure.
Minerals: Substances God made in nature that are not alive and don’t come from plants or animals. They are the ingredients of rocks. We need many minerals to live, and we get a lot of minerals from the foods we eat.

| 1:08.9 | master naturalist, Bible teacher, and author, and I am so excited to |
