Scientists know that gravity cause sediment to be deposite.
your mu.m
haha got em
It is called sedimentation.
Sedimentary rocks are often deposited in layers as strata. The feature that tells how a sedimentary rock is layered is called the bedding.
The layers in sedimentary rocks are called strata.
sedimentary rock
Intrabasinal rocks are deposited in the same basin as the source rock they are weathered from. Extrabasinal rocks are deposited outside the basin of their original source rock. Both are sedimentary rocks.
Layers or strata in sedimentary rock are composed of deposited smaller rock particles and possibly organic matter.

It is called sedimentation.
Sedimentation of transported weathered and eroded material is continuous, cyclical, or event based. New sediments are deposited on top of existing sediments, forming layers that may be visible in a sedimentary rock body.
Conglomerate rocks are sedimentary rocks; they settle at bottoms of the rivers, lakes, and oceans in deposited layers.

sedimentary rock
The type of rock that forms where the remains of plants and animals are deposited in thick layers are called organic sedimentary rock.
Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediment deposits (gravel, sand, silt, clay) over long periods of time either on land or in water (lakes, oceans). As more and more sedimentary layers are deposited, the newer layers exert pressure on the older layers, which compacts the loose particles and cements them together - forming sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks can also be formed through the precipitation of dissolved minerals to form limestone or dolomite.
