Sedimentary
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the layering of materials, as new layers are added, they compress the lower layers which eventually physically adhere together.
Sedimentary rocks, such as sandstone and shale, form from layers of materials that accumulate and undergo compaction and cementation over time. These rocks typically contain fossils and provide important clues about Earth's history.
Detrital Sedimentary Rock
Sedimentary rock is formed when layers of loose materials, such as sand or sediment, are compacted and cemented together over time.

Strata can be found in sedimentary rocks, which form in layers over time as sediments accumulate and compact. Igneous rocks, which form from molten magma cooling and solidifying, do not typically have distinct layers or strata.
Bedrock
Sedimentary rocks, and foliated metamorphic rocks form in layers.
When layers of sediment get squeezed together, they form a rock type called sedimentary rock. This process, known as lithification, involves the compression and cementation of sediment particles over time. Sedimentary rocks can include materials such as sandstone, shale, and limestone.
