Pumice.
This type of sedimentary rock is created from pieces of other rock.
Clastic Sedimentary Rcok
This type of metamorphic rock was formed from pressure acting upon it from all sides.
Nonfoliated Metamorphic Rock
This type of physical weathering is the result of objects hitting or brushing against rock.

Intermediate Igneous Rock
This type of of rock is formed from organic processes that involve living organisms producing the sediments
Biochemcial Sedimentary Rock
This metamorphic rock is created from the extreme heat of magma on nearby rocks.
Contact Metamorphism
