Sedimentary rocks are formed from the earths surface when sediments hardens into rocks :]
Geology
Sedimentary rocks are the type of rocks that can only form on or very near Earth's surface. Sedimentary rocks form from weathering processes that occur on Earth's surface.
The most common type of rock found at the Earth's surface and in the Earth's crust are sedimentary rocks. These rocks are formed from the accumulation and lithification of sediments such as sand, mud, and organic debris. Sedimentary rocks cover about 75% of the Earth's surface.
Constructive Force
Mostly the sedimentary part which involves the process of weathering, and diagenesis occurs at the earths surface.
Earth'surface features indicate the Earth's history and it looked like billions of years ago. For example: the Appalachian Mountains in North America are similar in age and structure to Atlas Mountains in Africa that mean these two mountains were once part of the same mountain belt

Sedimentary rocks are the most common type of rocks found at Earth's surface. They are formed by the accumulation and cementation of sediments such as sand, mud, and organic material over time. Sedimentary rocks cover about 75% of the Earth's surface.
