This happens because the rock cycle keeps occuring and every time the rock cycle happens the sedimentary rock comes together better and will eventually be a solid mass of sediment
Sedimentary rocks are rocks made up of rock fragments(sediment)and cemented and compacted together over time. There are three sub groups to sedimentary rock organic,clastic,and chemical.Some rocks under sedimentary rocks are limestone,sandstone,and shale.
Rocks formed from layers of materials that settle and get cemented together are Sedimentary Rocks.
Clastic sedimentary rocks. Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed when small sediment particles are compacted and cemented together. This happens when the sediments are glued together by tiny crystals or chemicals from fluids that have precipitated in the pores between the sediments.
Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock made up of rounded pebbles cemented together.
sedimentary
No. Volcanic rocks are igneous (although not all igneous rocks are volcanic). Sedimentary rocks are made of sediment naturally cemented together. However, volcanic (or extrusive igneous) rocks can be eroded into sediment, which can be cemented, compacted, or otherwise become sedimentary rock such as sandstone or conglomerate. It is then not considered igneous.
A rock formed as pieces older rock and sediment get pressed or cemented together.
Sedimentary rock is formed from sediments are piled on top of one another, then compacted and cemented into rocks. Sandstone and limestone are examples of sedimentary rocks.
Many sedimentary rocks are made from the broken bits of other rocks. These are called clast sedimentary rocks. The broken bits of rocks are called sediment. Sediment is the sand you find at the beach, the mud in a lake bottom, the pebbles in a river, and even the dust on furniture. The sediment may, in time, form a rock if the little pieces become cemented together

Detrital sedimentary rock. clastic sedimentary A+
Sedimentary rocks form as pieces of loose material get pressed or cemented together. The process of forming sedimentary rocks is lithification.
Sedimentary rocks are made by the majority of the crust are covered by a thin veneer of loose sediment, and the rock which is made as layers of this debris get compacted and cemented together.
sedimentary rock.
Sedimentary rocks come from deposited sediment that are cemented together (usually in water) to form these types of rocks. The rocks are made out of weared-down shells, rocks, inclusions (rock particles) and sand as well as pebbles or other particles. Hope that helps.
Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed from particles of pre-existing sedimentary, metamorphic, or igneous rock that are deposited, compacted, and cemented together by natural processes.Clastic sedimentary rock is made of fragments of rocks cemented together by a mineral such as calcite or quartz.
