How are layered rocks formed?
Rock layers are formed by sedimentation. Existing rocks weather and erode, are deposited, covered with additional sediments, compacted and cemented together by the precipitation of minerals from the fluids between the particles. There are other instances where layers can be created, such as repeated volcanic eruptions, but the bulk of rock layers are sedimentary in origin.
