Question

Explain how sedimentary rocks are formed

Answer 1

Sedimentary rocks are the product of

1) weathering of preexisting rocks,

2) transport of the weathering products,

3) deposition of the material, followed by

4) compaction, and

5) cementation of the sediment to form a rock. The latter two steps are called lithification.

Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediment is deposited out of air, ice, wind, gravity, or water flows carrying the particles in suspension. This sediment is often formed when weathering and erosion break down a rock into loose material in a source area.
