Water and water flow are the main contributors to erosion of all rock types. Water flow assists in the transportation of these eroded rock particles to a point of deposition, where additional layers of sediment are added. Eventually, cementation of the rock particles may occur, forming a sedimentary rock.
When water moves slowly small particles drop out. When water moves quickly the largest particles drop out.
Sedimentary rocks show the action of wind and water by forming sedimentary layers. These layers can form on land and water areas.
No, its only when already fast flowing water rushes by, does deposited sediment collect ( did this 2day in geography!)
Sedimentary rocks are formed when flowing water deposits sediment. They tend to have a rounded shape, because the flowing water smooths out their shape.
Runoff is water flowing over land that carries particles of sediment.
Chalk is a form of limestone, a sedimentary rock.
The overburden pressure removes air and water, and therefore space, from between sediment particles.
Because of the way the waves in the water move to lift the sediment...

Evaporation removes water from sediment to form sedimentary rock. When water evaporates everything that was in the water dries out. The evaporation of water from sediment takes a very long time to form sedimentary rock.

Sediment deposited by flowing water
most sedimentary rocks are mostly made from sediment , you will most- likley find the near water sources .
Chalk is a form of limestone, a sedimentary rock.
sediment gathers up then the water in the sediment starts to evaporate. Compaction and Cementation happens then forms layer after layer.
The overburden pressure removes air and water, and therefore space, from between sediment particles.
