Story of a rock

I am Sandstone which means I am a sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rocks form from weathered sediments, when they are compacted and squeezed to make a rock. We are pushed down into the earths crust after layer after layer of rock covers us. Then as we are pushed down, heat and pressure increase. The continued pressure transforms the rock. We are now a metamorphic rock.
