Depositing, weathering, erosion, compacting, cementing
the formation of a sedimentary rock is first weathering. Weathering breaks into smaller piece's. Next is erosion. Erosion is when it moves the sediment to different places. Deposition after that and what deposition do is forming a sedimentary rock when it rains, snow ect. It slows the rock formation down and less energy and sediment will be on the sedimentary rock. Last it is compaction. and that squeezs the sedimentary rock together
Sedimentary Rock
Crystallization
Compaction is one process leading to the formation of sedimentary rock by the pressing weight of overlying layers of sediment. Compaction leads to the formation of sedimentary rock by squeezing out air and fluids that exist between sediment particles. As the particles become closer and closer together and the fluids are removed, the particles can become cemented together by minerals that were in the fluids.
Compaction
Weathering can happen to any rock. It is the first stage in the process that leads to the formation of sedimentary rock.
Cementing is not a process involved in the formation of sedimentary rock.
sedimentary rock formation
A formal mappable unit of sedimentary rock.

Erosion and deposition may eventually result in the formation of sedimentary rock.
