You are very welcome, Anna-Belle. :-)

Based on the information you provided, your answers are correct.
For the first question, the step in the rock cycle that occurs immediately before sediments are laid down is erosion. Erosion is the process by which rocks are broken down into smaller pieces by wind, water, ice, or gravity.
For the second question, an extrusive rock comes from lava. Extrusive rocks are formed from lava that cools and solidifies on the Earth's surface. Lava is molten rock that erupts from a volcano.
To verify these answers, you can refer to reliable sources such as geology textbooks, online educational websites, or consult with a geologist or earth science teacher.
