Sediment can be made up of pieces of other rocks, minerals, or organic matter. Over time, the sediment is buried and compacted, and it is eventually cemented together to form sedimentary rock.<\/p>\n<p>The Meghalaya Plateau is a large plateau in northeastern India. It is made up of sedimentary rocks that were deposited over millions of years. The sedimentary rocks on the Meghalaya Plateau are mostly sandstone, shale, and limestone.<\/p>\n<p>Igneous rocks are formed when magma or lava cools and solidifies. Magma is molten rock that is found beneath the Earth&#8217;s surface. Lava is magma that has reached the Earth&#8217;s surface. Igneous rocks can be classified into two types: intrusive and extrusive. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed when magma cools and solidifies beneath the Earth&#8217;s surface. Extrusive igneous rocks are formed when lava cools and solidifies on the Earth&#8217;s surface.<\/p>\n<p>Metamorphic rocks are formed when existing rocks are subjected to heat and pressure. The heat and pressure can cause the rocks to change their shape, texture, and composition. Metamorphic rocks can be classified into two types: foliated and non-foliated. Foliated metamorphic rocks have <div class=\"youtube-subscribe-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCNHT8lW-JmLC68rjBfZhdkg?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"youtube-subscribe-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"youtube-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\">\r\n                    <path d=\"M549.7 124.1c-6.3-23.7-24.8-42.3-48.3-48.6C458.8 64 288 64 288 64S117.2 64 74.6 75.5c-23.5 6.3-42 24.9-48.3 48.6-11.4 42.9-11.4 132.3-11.4 132.3s0 89.4 11.4 132.3c6.3 23.7 24.8 41.5 48.3 47.8C117.2 448 288 448 288 448s170.8 0 213.4-11.5c23.5-6.3 42-24.2 48.3-47.8 11.4-42.9 11.4-132.3 11.4-132.3s0-89.4-11.4-132.3zm-317.5 213.5V175.2l142.7 81.2-142.7 81.2z\"\/>\r\n             <div class=\"telegram-channel-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/pscnotes2025\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"telegram-channel-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"telegram-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 496 512\">\r\n                    <path fill=\"white\" d=\"M248,8C111,8,0,119,0,256s111,248,248,248s248-111,248-248S385,8,248,8z M362,177L320,367c-3,14-10,18-20,14l-56-41l-27,26 c-3,3-5,5-10,5l4-63L323,196c5-5-1-7-8-3l-98,62l-42-13c-9-3-10-9,2-14l162-63C351,160,365,164,362,177z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Join Our Telegram Channel\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div>    <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Subscribe on YouTube\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div> a layered or banded appearance.
