What step in the rock cycle creates the sediment form which sedimentary rock is formed?
erosion
What process forms sedimentary rock?
sedimentary rock is formed by the rock cycle
What must any rock in the rock cycle do to become a sedimentary rock?
It must erode into sediment and then be compressed to form sedimentary rock.
Who discovered sedimentary rock?

What happens to sediment over time?
Sedimentary layers are conspicuous by the neighbors they keep. There are two types of sedimentary layers; those that have formed and those that are today forming. Over time they are compressed and thereby preserved.

What step in the rock cycle creates the sediment form which sedimentary rock is formed?
erosion
What the rock cycle describe?
The rock cycle describes how rocks are formed, and how they change to sedimentary rock, to metamorphic rock, to magma, to igneous rock, to sediment, and back to sedimentary rock.
What process forms sedimentary rock?
sedimentary rock is formed by the rock cycle
What must any rock in the rock cycle do to become a sedimentary rock?
It must erode into sediment and then be compressed to form sedimentary rock.
How do sedimentary rocks get cemented together to form a solid mass from sediment?
This happens because the rock cycle keeps occuring and every time the rock cycle happens the sedimentary rock comes together better and will eventually be a solid mass of sediment
What became compressed to form limestone?
Sediment. Sediment is eroded igneous, metamorphic or other sedimentary rock. This is all part of the rock cycle.
In the rock cycle what is formed when igneous rocks weather?
Sediment
What rocks are formed from broken rocks?
Clastic sedimentary rocks and Cataclasites (a form of metamorphic rock) are formed from broken rocks.
Who discovered sedimentary rock?

Is it possible for rocks to skip sedimentary in the rock cycle?
Yes a rock can change from metamorphic to igneous back to metamorphic the rock cycle does not go in order unless magma cools into igneous and sediment changes into sedimentary rock

Sedimentary layers are conspicuous by the neighbors they keep. There are two types of sedimentary layers; those that have formed and those that are today forming. Over time they are compressed and thereby preserved.
