Which rock withstands weathering well and is often used for statues?

Also, which rock withstands weathering well?

Sandstone is a sedimentary rock that is highly resistant to weathering. Other sedimentary rocks you will encounter are mudstone and siltstone. These are soft and easily weathered (lots in the Painted Desert).

Also, how does a sedimentary rock become a metamorphic rock? Sedimentary rocks become metamorphic in the rock cycle when they are subjected to heat and pressure from burial. The high temperatures are produced when the Earth's tectonic plates move around, producing heat. And when they collide, they build mountains and metamorphose.

Then, which rock is made from pebbles cemented together?

The crystals cement the sediment together, creating solid rock. Cemented gravel and pebbles form a sedimentary rock called conglomerate. Artificial cemented rocks (sand and gravel) is called concrete. Cemented sand forms sandstone and mud-sized particles make mudstone and siltstone.

What are the three types of rocks that are part of the rock cycle?

The three main types, or classes, of rock are sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous and the differences among them have to do with how they are formed. Sedimentary rocks are formed from particles of sand, shells, pebbles, and other fragments of material. Together, all these particles are called sediment.
