Sedimentary Rocks. Sedimentary rocks are created from stratification by the layering of materials on one another which then get compacted and cemented by sedimentation process over long period of time. The whole process of formation of sedimentary rocks from sediment is called Diagnesis. Examples of sedimentary rocks are limestone, chalk, and sandstone.
I would consider tiny pieces of rock carried by water to be sediment. Sediment is generally clay or sand particles, but any type of rock ground into fine particles can be carried by water. This may include igneous-type rocks (those that come from around volcanoes and the bottom of the ocean).
A rock will breakdown physically into some type of sediment. Sediments such as: dirt, clay, sand, and pebbles. They can also breakdown chemically in solution.
Rocky shorelines have rocks and cliffs, so when the waves crash against the rock fragments and sediments are formed along the shoreline.
Sandstone, claystone, limestone, or various other type of sedimentary rocks. That answer is WAY wrong the correct answer would be a sedimentary rock.
Because ingenious rock is a type of rock, sedimentary hardens over time with the sediment(gravel, rocks, dirt) inside it. So in this case the fossils or dinosaur bones harden over time into the sediment and form into the rock.

The type of sediment that undergoes the most compaction as it lithifies to sedimentary rocks is marine mud. Lithification refers to the process wherein sediments compact under pressure.
An aquifer is not a type of water. It is an underground layer of permeable rock, sediment or soil that contains water. Wells are dug to reach this layer to obtain water.
Biochemical sedimentary rocks form from sediment derived by biological processes. A type of sedimentary rock primarily comprising deposits resulting.
Igneous rocks can change into metamorphic rocks from great heat and pressure as all other rocks can, melt into magma, the molten rock, and erode into sediment, which are rock fragments.
no sediment is not a rock it is particles of sand mud and silt plant and animal remains.athough sedimentry is a rock and there is only 3 diffrent kinds of rocks sedimentry metamorphic and igneous Kennedy

It is impossible to derive an answer from the information provided. At first glance it would appear that the answer would be 500 years; in actuality, the sediments that created the sedimentary rock would have been substantially compressed during the lithification process, resulting in a rock thickness that was less than the initial sediment thickness, depending on the type of sediment.

which type of sediment settles fastest? slowest?
