Answer:

Hope it helps

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks are formed by the deposition and subsequent cementation on the material at the Earth’s surface within the bodies of water. These rocks are formed in four ways:

Deposition of weathered remains of other rocks

Accumulation and the consolidation of sediments

Deposition of the results of biogenic activity

Precipitation from solution.

Sedimentation is the combined name for all the processes that cause organic and mineral particles to get settle. The particle that helps in forming the sedimentary rock is called sediment. This sediment is formed with the help of erosion and weathering from the source area and which is then transported to the deposition place by the wind, water, ice and glaciers which are agents of denudation.
