How are layered rocks formed?
Rock layers are formed by sedimentation. Existing rocks weather and erode, are deposited, covered with additional sediments, compacted and cemented together by the precipitation of minerals from the fluids between the particles. There are other instances where layers can be created, such as repeated volcanic eruptions, but the bulk of rock layers are sedimentary in origin.
What is the sequence for sedimentary rocks?
Firstly the rocks are weathered and eroded from an area above ground. Then, they are usually transported down to the sea via rivers. Once they are deposited in the sea, a lot of different layers pile up on top of each other on the sea bed. The Layers are then buried deeper and compacted, to form a sedimentary rock. Hope this helped :)
What are remains of plants and animals that are deposited in thick layers?
Fossil remains
What is based on the idea that younger rock layers are deposited on top of older rock layers in undisturbed areas?
The answer is: Relative dating
When sediment is deposited in layers than compacted what is formed?
A sedimentary rock is little pieces of other things (other rocks, dead material, or stuff settling out of water) bound together (generally by silica, carbonate, iron oxide, or something else acting like a glue).
Is Waste is deposited into landfills and in thin layers which are then compacted and covered with soil?
hahahahah
When sediment is deposited in layers and compacted?
...sedimentary rock is formed. OR ...strata is formed. Try either.

How are sedimentary rocks are made?
Sedimentary rocks are made by the majority of the crust are covered by a thin veneer of loose sediment, and the rock which is made as layers of this debris get compacted and cemented together.
How are sedimentary formed?
when the bits of the rocks get deposited it forms layers after many years these layers of sediment gets cementated which means gets squashed and compacted which means gets glued and they forms in to sedimentary rocks.thanks for reading
