The Rock cycle is a process whereby all types of rock are formed then eroded and "recycled" through different depositional processes. Sedimentary rocks can provide evidence that the rock cycle exists by looking at it under a microscope. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the lithification of grains of different sizes shapes and compositions. By detemining the compositions of the grains within a sedimentary rock through a petrographic microscope or through a scanning electron microscope (SEM) then it can be seen that some grains are composed of minerals that are solely igneous in origin. Likewise, sedimentary rocks can be metamorphosed to form meta-sediments.
Currently, quite a lot is known about what animals lived in what time period. So when you determine the fossils found in a sedimentary rock, you know what the time period is where that animals died. Because when they die, they drop into the sediment, which after time turns into a sedimentary rock.
They have sedemental lines that contrast with the calcium in the earths crust, this is what helps us find out what has walked on our earth by imprinting images on it. We can also find out how old they are by the lines on the sedementary rock.
If you mean part of the rock cycle, then it's part of the rock cycle due to the fact that they are made up of sediments of old rocks. Hope that helped!

You can find rocks that are sedimentary rocks which are found in mountains, rivers and near the seashores.
No, desert roses are formed in sedimentary rocks and Hawaii is primarily igneous rocks.

weathering of preexisting rocks form clastic sedimentary rocks, Oversaturated water basins form chemical sedimentary rocks after the water evaporates and dead sea organisms settle at the bottom forming biochemical sedimentary rocks.
Sedimentary rocks can be both chemically and mechanically weathered.
Yes, you can find fossils in sedimentary rocks.
Yes, there are lots of sedimentary rocks in the world. If you ever go to Palm Springs, and u did underground, you will find several sedimentary rocks.
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
how does the fossil record provide evidence for evolution?!
sedimentary rocks are what fossils are found in
Fossils are principally found in sedimentary rocks and also in some metamorphic rocks of sedimentary origin.
Examin it
Metamorphic rocks are classified by foliation or lack there of, not sedimentary rocks. They are classified into Clastic Sedimentary, and Chemical Sedimentary.

in sedimentary rocks
A fossil is evidence of an organisms existence, not a type of rock. Most fossils are found in sedimentary rocks.
No. The rocks you describe are clastic or detrital sedimentary rocks.
