a rock formed by unconsolidated sediment deposited in layers
Scientists know that gravity cause sediment to be deposite.
loess/dunes or aeolian deposits
To create a sedimentary rock, layers of sediment such as sand, mud, or minerals must be deposited and compressed over time. This process, known as lithification, involves the compaction and cementation of the sediment layers to form a solid rock.
It is called sedimentation.
...sedimentary rock is formed. OR ...strata is formed. Try either.
Loess deposits is form when sediment that is finer than sand, such as particles of clay and silt, is deposited into layers far from its source.
