There are various processes that are involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks. This starts from weathering to deposition then erosion and finally there is lithification and compaction.
lithification, or the rock cycle forms the sedimentary rock.

Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Compaction, & Cementation.
Cementation
Sedimentary rocks require two processes to be formed. The first is weathering. Weathering is the disintegration/decomposition of rocks. Erosion is the process by which the weathered material is moved from one place to another. Erosion occurs when, for instance, a moving stream picks up a weathered pebble and moves it miles downstream to the mouth of a river. Erosion can also take place with ice, wind, etc.

Metamorphic and Sedimentary
The two major processes involved in the formation of sedimentary rock include deposition (in which sedimentary material is deposited in an area) and cementation (in which that material becomes glued together overtime).

Sedimentary rock formation begins with igneous, metamorphic, or other sedimentary rocks. When these rocks are exposed at the earth's surface they begin the long slow but relentless process of becoming sedimentary rock.
