sedimentary rock formation
The formation of sedimentary rocks requires the accumulation and compaction of sediments, followed by the cementation of the sediments by minerals like silica or calcite. Over time, these processes lead to the solidification of the sediments into sedimentary rock.

A sedimentary rock formation
SEDIMENTARY ROCK FORMATION, begins with igneous, metamorphic, or other sedimentary rocks. When these rocks are exposed at the earth's surface they begin the long but relentless process of becoming sedimentary rock.
The two major processes involved in the formation of sedimentary rock include deposition (in which sedimentary material is deposited in an area) and cementation (in which that material becomes glued together overtime).
Erosion and deposition play important roles in the formation of sedimentary rock. Erosion breaks down rocks into sediments which are then transported and deposited in layers. Over time, these sediments are compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rocks.
