What sedimentary rocks form when rocks broken down by weathering and erosion and then compacted together by pressure?
When sedimentary rocks break down and then are compacted by pressure, the resulting rock will be a metamorphic rock.
What is found in all sedimentary rocks?
Well an igneous rock can weather than turn into a sedimentary rock, a sedimentary rock can break down into sediments than form again to become sedimentary, or a metamorphic rock can break down by weathering and eroding and become sedimentary. All rocks can become all rocks and even go back to being the same type.
Why does it take thousands or millions of years to create sedimentary rocks when it may only take minutes to form igneous-?
It takes a long time for sedimentary rocks because the rocks have to break down in small pieces. The rocks are from the surfaces or the crust.
Can sedimentary rocks be worn down?
Yes
How do the rocks fit in the rock cycle?
Rocks are classfied as one of the following:Metamorphic Sedimentary and Igneous
What do igneous rocks become when you break down and settle into layer?
sedimentary rocks

How was asandstome formed?
Sandstone rocks are formed from sedimentary rocks. It is when sedimentary rocks are broke down into small pieces.
What can erosion and weathering create?
Sediments. Weathering and Erosion can break down Sedimentary rocks, Igneous rocks and Metamorphic rocks all into Sediments. Hopefully this helped you.

How sedimentary rocks form?
Sedimentary rocks are formed when eroded earth builds up
Which force does not break down rocks in nature?
sunlight does not break down rocks
What is the process where sedimentary rocks are broken down?
Erosion.
