Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Compaction, & Cementation.
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.

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.

Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Compaction, & Cementation.
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.
Melting.
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).
Clastic rocks are made up of broken fragments of pre-existing rocks, while non-clastic rocks are formed from chemical processes or organic matter. Sandstone is an example of a clastic rock, formed from the accumulation of sand grains, while limestone is a non-clastic rock formed from the accumulation of organic material or through chemical precipitation.
