It will probably make some sort of sedimentary rock, because if the eroded sediments were put under enough pressure they might eventually meld together. Be careful though because there are different kinds of sedimentary rock. You wouldn't be able to tell which type of rock it formed unless you knew the type of rock eroded and the conditions they eroded in (is it a tropical area, arctic are, polar area, etc), it would also depend on how deep the rocks got buried and ho quickly. I hope that helps you out. By the way I'm in 8th grade taking Earth Science in case you are wondering where I got my info from!

What are rocks that are resistant to erosion called?

Cap rock. Resistant cap rock will help protect softer rock below it from erosion. Any rock type that is more resistant to erosion than the rock type below it is called a cap rock. For instance, it could be basalt (igneous) overlying limestone (sedimentary), or limestone (sedimentary) over shale (also sedimentary).
