What is a layer of rock and mineral fragments produced by weathering?
A layer of rock and mineral fragments produced by weathering is called sediment. Sediment is formed when rocks are broken down into smaller pieces by physical, chemical, or biological weathering processes, and then these fragments are transported and deposited by water, wind, or ice. Over time, these sediment layers can become compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rocks.
