Sedimentary rocks are often deposited in layers as strata. The feature that tells how a sedimentary rock is layered is called the bedding.
Which features tells you how a sedimentary rock is layered?
The features that indicate how a sedimentary rock is layered include bedding planes, which represent the boundaries between different layers of sediment, and graded bedding, where grains are sorted by size within a layer. Additionally, cross-bedding can show inclined layers within a sedimentary rock, indicating the direction of sediment deposition.

How do you describe a metamorphic rock?

What is layered rock called?

What is foilation?
A texture that gives the rock a layered appeareance.
Is sedimentary rock the only type of layered rock?
No. Extrusive igneous rocks are usually layered. Some metamorphic rocks have foliation, which resembles layering, but it is not the same thing.
