Sedimentary rocks are formed from the weathering of other rocks, dead organic remains or chemical precipitation.Sedimentary rocks form when mud and sand are deposited in layers on the Earth's surface. The layers are deposited in many environments including oceans, rivers and deserts. These layers of sand and mud are later buried. The weight of overlying layers compresses the mud and sand to form solid rock. Steps:

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.

Answer:

The correct answer to this question is sedimentary rocks are created by the deposition of material at the Earth's surface within bodies of water, followed by cementation.

Explanation:

Given - Sedimentary rocks.

To Find - what are sedimentary rocks explain the process of their formation

Sedimentary rocks are created by the deposition of material at the Earth's surface within bodies of water, followed by cementation. There are four ways that these rocks are created. a buildup of other rocks' worn remnants. sediment accumulation and consolidation. Depositing the outcomes of biological.

All of the processes that lead to the settlement of organic and mineral particles are together referred to as sedimentation. Sediment is the term for the component that aids in the formation of sedimentary rock. This silt is created by weathering and erosion at the source region and is subsequently carried to the deposition site by denudation-causing elements including wind, water, ice, and glaciers.
