Sedimentary rock is used in:
The Sedimentary rock is important in the rock cycle because it has a part in the cycle just like Igneous rocks and metamorphic rocks. If there was no Sedimentary rocks, there would be no rock cycle.
Sedimentary rocks are useful for us now because we use them for building materials. Also some materials today like coal, oil, and natural gases are found in sedimentary rocks.
they can break down other rocks by hitting them (abraison) and sand is formed from rock
People have used sedimentary rocks throughout history, for several different reasons, including tools and building materials.
their layered structure
the minerals found in them

Sedimentary rocks form the same as they did in the past.
They also record the history of life and climate.
Answer: Sedimentary rocks contain the entire history of life on earth that is available to us, and much of the history of the Earth itself. All of this information will help us determine how we got where we are today.
It could most certainly be found in sedimentary rock in areas of past volcanism, and is, in fact, found in some limestones.

it is good
Sedimentary rocks are laid down one layer at a time. The layers give information on how the rocks formed.
Metamorphic, igneous, and past sedimentary rocks are turned into sediments by weathering and erosion. Then, the sediment are deposited. Finally, by compaction and/or cementation, a sedimentary rock is formed
they have fossils and pieces of the environment from the past inside of them

plant and animal fossils are most often found in layers of sedimentary rocks
Presence of fossils and stratification of the rocks structure into different layers.
The rocks of Earth's crust, especially sedimentary rocks
They also record the history of life and climate.
