Rocks formed from sediments deposits?

Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediment deposits (gravel, sand, silt, clay) over long periods of time either on land or in water (lakes, oceans). As more and more sedimentary layers are deposited, the newer layers exert pressure on the older layers, which compacts the loose particles and cements them together - forming sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks can also be formed through the precipitation of dissolved minerals to form limestone or dolomite.


What glue is used to hold grains of sedimentary rock together?

The 'glue' that cements together the particles that make up a sedimentary rock include silica, carbonates, iron oxides, and clay minerals. The formation of these minerals occurs as the sediments are squeezed by overburden pressure which removes excess water, causing precipitate minerals to form. The minerals fill in the voids between particles that was once occupied by water.
