How is erosion part of the formation of sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks are, by definition, rocks that are composed of layers of sediments. Sediments are particles of rock and other materials. So if you have a rock that's being weathered and eroded, it's getting broken down and carried by water and wind. Eventually the rock will be broken down so much that what's left will be sediments. These sediments will pile on top of each other, compacting under the pressure from higher layers and creating a sedimentary rock.
How is sediment created?
Sediments are deposited on to other sediments and immense heat and pressure turn the sediments into a rock
