sediment gathers up then the water in the sediment starts to evaporate. Compaction and Cementation happens then forms layer after layer.

What rocks form from the sediments of the other rocks?
Sedimentary rocks.
What kind of rock is formed form sediments?
Sedimentary rock.
What conditions do sedimentary rocks form?
Sediments and pressure
What types of rocks can turn into sedimentary rocks?
the type of rock that change into sedimentary rock is igneous rock.it under go weathering to form sediments,sediments under go lithification to Ford sedimentary rocks
Process by which sediments are stuck together to form sedimentary rock?
The process of sediments being compacted and cemented to form sedimentary rocks is called lithification.
Water erodes rock and deposits sediments to form?
sedimentary rocks :)
What form stalactites?
Sediments in sedimentary rocks are often caused by precipitation.
How the igneous rocks change?
Igneous rocks change to Metamorphic rocks through heat and pressure. Igneous rocks change to sedimentary rocks through weathering and erosion until the igneous rock is sediments. The sediments then compact to form sedimentary rocks.
What processes form stalactites?
Sediments in sedimentary rocks are often caused by precipitation.
Three ways in which sedimentary rocks differ from other rocks?
Sedimentary rocks are made up of materials that were once part of another rock. Most sediments are deposited on ocean floors or at the bottom of rivers and lakes.Clastic sedimentary rocks form from layers of sediments. Pressure causes the water around the sediments to be squeezed out and the sediments are cemented together.
Does the composition of a sedimentary rock depend upon the composition of the rocks and the living things its sediments came from?
It is true that the composition of a sedimentary rock depends upon the composition of the rocks and living things its sediments come from. Sedimentary rocks form through lithification.
What can happento a sedimentary rock once it is formed?
Sedimentary rocks can be eroded into sediments and form sedimentary rocks again, they can melt and become igneous rocks, and they can undergo extreme heat and pressure and become metamorphic rocks.
