Does sediment form before soil?
Yes. Soil is sediment that has been weathered and deposited and can support rooted plant life. You will generally not hear a geologist distinguish between soil and sediment but instead refer to both as sediment. This is typically because they are dealing with time-lines that far exceed a soil's lifespan and whether it is soil or sediment is not relevant. However, a soil scientist will always distinguish between the two and will not designate the sediment as a soil until certain criteria has been met.- This answer is complicated.~SatsuiEvilRyu
