Sandstone is a type of sedimentary rock. It is formed by weathering and erosion of rocks millions of years ago. Flowing water disintegrates into sand debris, which is deposited on the stone bed. After the crust moves, the mountain is lifted, squeezed and cemented. A series of geophysical effects finally formed the current sandstone under heating and pressure.
