Where are the oldest layers of a sandstone rock located?
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rocks form from sediments that deposited by the wind and water. Over the time those sediments will get pressed and cemented together. It can take millions of years for sediments to become a rock. So the oldest layers of a sandstone are on a bottom.
Sediment in water often become solid rock when?
When it is deposited, covered by additional sediments, compressed, and cemented together by minerals.
What is the type of Rock formed when smaller bits of rock become pressed or cemented together?
Rock formed from the compression and cementation of particles of other rocks is called clastic sedimentary rock.
A sedimentary rock is weathered by wind and water The rock breaks down into sediments again If the sediments become cemented what type of rock will be formed?
sedimentary rock
What must occur for sedimentary rock to form?
It must be exposed, weathered into smaller rock particles, transported by wind, water, ice, or gravity to a place of deposition, covered by additional sediments, compacted, and cemented together by minerals.
How do sediments change over time?
The get compacted with burial and dewater. The grains from which they are made become cemented together and the sediments become sedimentary rocks.

How is conglomerate made?
Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock made up of tiny rounded pebbles cemented together by sediments that pile on top of them. The pebbles become cemented together by minerals like silica, calcite, and iron oxides.
