What is the layer of sediment called?
It is called sedimentation.
What is a non-example of sedimentary rock?
== == A sedimentary rock is formed from sediments deposited by water on the bottom of rivers, lakes, and oceans. The sediments are pieces of earth that have eroded, or worn away and washed downstream into rivers, lakes, and oceans and then settled out. Therefore, a non-sedimentary rock is a rock that isn't sedimentary.
Can sedimentary rocks form under the ocean or on land only?
