If the process of cementation is volcanic you get a "tuff".
If the cementation post sedimentation of rock clasts you get a sedimentary rock which may be a breccia or a conglomerate.

sedimentary
What type of rock is formed when layers of loose materials are compacted and cemented together?
Sedimentary rock is formed from the processes of compaction and cementation of sediments.
What is it called when rock forms of small pieces of other rocks are deposited in layers and are cemented together by disolved mineral material?
rock formed of small rocks that are cemented together by dissolved mineral material?
Why are rock layers significant?
if it is a sedimentary rock the fossils get cemented together
What is the type of rock made from layers of rock and other materials that are cemented together?
That'd be a conglomerate rock. They are formed by either compacting, or cementing of weathered rocks.
What is formed when particles and bits of rock are cemented together?
The rock that forms when particles of rock or plant remains are cemented together is called sedimentary rock.
What is a rock made of layers that are cemented together?
Layers of sediment which have undergone lithification are called sedimentary rock.

If the process of cementation is volcanic you get a "tuff". If the cementation post sedimentation of rock clasts you get a sedimentary rock which may be a breccia or a conglomerate.
What kind of rock is formed when rock fragments are cemented together?
A clastic sedimentary rock.
What kind of rock is formed from sediments being cemented together?

How are layered rocks formed?
Rock layers are formed by sedimentation. Existing rocks weather and erode, are deposited, covered with additional sediments, compacted and cemented together by the precipitation of minerals from the fluids between the particles. There are other instances where layers can be created, such as repeated volcanic eruptions, but the bulk of rock layers are sedimentary in origin.
