Explanation:
Rock that has formed through the deposition and solidification of sediment, especially sediment transported by water (rivers, lakes, and oceans), ice (glaciers), and wind are known as Sedimentary Rocks.
Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava whereas Sedimentary Rocks formed by the deposition of material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water.
Sedimentary rocks include sandstone, limestone, and shale. These rocks often start as sediments carried in rivers and deposited in lakes and oceans. When buried, the sediments lose water and become cemented to form rock. Tuffaceous sandstones contain volcanic ash.
