Although sedimentary rocks form in a variety of processes, the first process that would occur in the formation of the most common sedimentary rocks would be that of weathering, which is the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces through chemical or mechanical means by nature.

How is the lithosphere formed and shaped?
Deposition is the first step in the formation of new sedimentary.
What are two major processes that form sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks require two processes to be formed. The first is weathering. Weathering is the disintegration/decomposition of rocks. Erosion is the process by which the weathered material is moved from one place to another. Erosion occurs when, for instance, a moving stream picks up a weathered pebble and moves it miles downstream to the mouth of a river. Erosion can also take place with ice, wind, etc.
The process that which water is returned to the atmosphere?
First it evaperates, then condensation occurs, then precipitation happens
What are all the processes involved with the formation of these rocks?
The first process involved with the formation of rocks are that gold and silver are named after a scientist called 'Isaac R' and his last name 'Rosenthaw' is a appreciated scientist with the brains.
How might a sedimentary rock become another sedimentary rock without first changing into another rock type?
A sedimentary rock becomes another sedimentary rock through erosion. The rock is eroded into bits, carried away, deposited and cemented and then lithified into a new sedimentary rock
Does weathering go with metamorphic or igneas or sedimentary?
Weathering can happen to any rock. It is the first stage in the process that leads to the formation of sedimentary rock.
What is the steps of the formation of the sedimentary rock?
The first step is weathering.
what is the first step for formation in. sedimentary rocks?
Weathering

Deposition is the first step in the formation of new sedimentary.
What is the formation of sedimentary rock?
the formation of a sedimentary rock is first weathering. Weathering breaks into smaller piece's. Next is erosion. Erosion is when it moves the sediment to different places. Deposition after that and what deposition do is forming a sedimentary rock when it rains, snow ect. It slows the rock formation down and less energy and sediment will be on the sedimentary rock. Last it is compaction. and that squeezs the sedimentary rock together
What occurs first labor cleavage implantation gastrulation or formation of placenta?
cleavage->gastrulation->implantation->formation of placenta->first labor
What disease occurs when the rate of bone resorption exceeds the rate of bone formation?
Osteopenia (little bone) will occur first. If the process continues, then osteoporosis (thin bone) will occur.
Which process is the first step in the formation of urine in the nephrons?
filtration
Define cementation and compaction?
Sediments are in sedimentary rocks. Everyday, more and more sediment is layed on top of the first batch of sediment(first layer). As the layers build up, they begin to press down on that first layer of sediment, pushing most of the air and water out of it, pushing the particles closer together. This is the process of compaction. This process occurs underground or above and is part of the way that sedimentary rocks are formed.Cementation is the next step in the recipe for making sedimentary rocks. In this step, loose sediments are glued together naturally glues like calcite and silica.
Which typically occurs first in birthing process?
The baby is pushed out of the uterus
Which typically occurs first in the birthing process?
The baby is pushed out of the uterus
What is the marble rock formation?
Marble is metamorphosed limestone. The word is also used in the masonry trade to describe sedimentary rock that can be polished, but my first sentence is the geological answer.
