Firstly, sediments are solid fragments of inorganic or organic material. The bulk of sediment is formed from the weathering of rock, wherein the rock is broken into smaller and smaller pieces by a variety of chemical and mechanical processes, including acidic rainfall, freeze/thaw cycles, and the actions of organisms.

What sediments form shale?
could you please tell me what sediments are in shale.
What must happen to metamorphic rock to become sedimentary rock?
The rock is eroded or weathered away into sediments. The sediments settle and through compaction , the sediments are pushed together to form a sediment. Short Answer: It must be broken down into a sediment.
Process by which sediments are stuck together to form sedimentary rock?
The process of sediments being compacted and cemented to form sedimentary rocks is called lithification.
What kind of rock is formed from sediments deposited in bodies of water?
Landforms shaped or deposited by wind forces are described as aeolian.
How do chemical sediments produce rock?
Chemical sediments, when conditions are right, precipitates to form chemical sediments. This precipitation occurs one of two ways, by physical processes, or by biochemical origin.
