Sedimentary rock formations are those which are formed by layer upon layer of sediment being laid down by natural forces. It is the stone in which history is hidden.
The principle of original horizontality states that sedimentary rocks were laid down essentially horizontally.
Yes
According to uniformitarians, sediments are laid down slowly over millions of years. Eventually, conditions change and the sediments harden to form rocks. The conditions during which the sediments were laid down determine the type of sediment, which in turn determines the kind of rock formed.
When sedimentary rocks break down and then are compacted by pressure, the resulting rock will be a metamorphic rock.
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
Sedimentary rocks are laid down one layer at a time. The layers give information on how the rocks formed.

The principle of original horizontality states that sedimentary rocks were laid down essentially horizontally.
There are three major types of rock: igneous (formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava) sedimentary (laid down as sediments) and metamorphic (changed by heat and/or pressure)
Sandstone rocks are formed from sedimentary rocks. It is when sedimentary rocks are broke down into small pieces.

Marble is the one that does not originate in sediments laid down by water, wind, or ice. The three most common cementing agents in a sedimentary rock are calcite, silica, and iron oxide.
