What makes sedimentary rocks red?
Well, sediment is usually a variety of things mixed together, like soil. In soil, you can see many different things, that's because sediment can contain things such as, dirt itself, leaves, dead organisms-such as plants and remains of animals (like if an animal was killed by another, the dead remains would decompose into small pieces). So, if sedimentary rocks (which basically is compacted soil/dirt) are red, it's something that got mixed into the sediment.
Why are dinosaur bones only in sedimentary rock instead of igneous rock?
Because ingenious rock is a type of rock, sedimentary hardens over time with the sediment(gravel, rocks, dirt) inside it. So in this case the fossils or dinosaur bones harden over time into the sediment and form into the rock.
How can water erosion uncover fossils?
The rain water washes away the dirt that is covering the fossil.
Why do sediments settle to the bottom of a lake or sea?
Sediment settles on the bottom of the lake or sea ultimately because it is heavier than water. Sediment begins as dirt or fragments of rock on land. When precipitation (rain) or flooding occurs these fragments are carried along with the water to the nearest stream, river, or other water reserve. The sediment that is carried into a lake or pond then sinks to the bottom of the body of water. The sediment that finds its way into moving water is ultimately emptied into the ocean, or whichever body of standing water the river or stream flows. Once the sediment reaches the stagnant body of water it will sink to the bottom.

What causes dirt in well water?
It comes from the ground, what do you expect. If the dirt is significant you may need a sediment or sand filter. I would definitely take a sample for analysis if you are drinking it.It comes from the ground, what do you expect. If the dirt is significant you may need a sediment or sand filter.
