The weight of the matter that that makes up the lower 'layers' is held down by gravity. Also causing air pressure, hence compression. Inside the earth extreme heat and pressure makes it more dense which can cause nucleation and crystal growth

How Sedimentery Rocks Are Formed?

For thousands, even millions of years, little pieces of our earth have been eroded--broken down and worn awayby wind and water. These little bits of our earth are washed downstream where they settle to the bottom of the rivers, lakes, and oceans. Layer after layer of eroded earth is deposited on top of each. These layers are pressed down more and more through time, until the bottom layers slowly turn into rock.


Is the sun homogeneous?

No; the center is much denser, and hotter, than the outer layers. Also, the center has a higher percentage of helium - which means that more fuel (hydrogen) has been burned up already.No; the center is much denser, and hotter, than the outer layers.

Does it help the earth for tissue to be absorbent?

Generally, the more absorbent a tissue is, the more layers it has and the more trees had to be cut down to provide those layers. Considering that, I would have to say no, it does not help the Earth.
