A sedimentary rock is little pieces of other things (other rocks, dead material, or stuff settling out of water) bound together (generally by silica, carbonate, iron oxide, or something else acting like a glue).
sedimentary rock
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.
It is called sedimentation.
Yes, sedimentary rocks are being formed right now. Sediment is continually being deposited by erosion and transported by wind, water, and ice. Over time, these sediments are compacted and cemented together to form new layers of sedimentary rock.
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the accumulation of sediments.
Sediment that is finer than sand is sometimes deposited in layers far from its source.
...sedimentary rock is formed. OR ...strata is formed. Try either.

when the bits of the rocks get deposited it forms layers after many years these layers of sediment gets cementated which means gets squashed and compacted which means gets glued and they forms in to sedimentary rocks.thanks for reading
a rock formed by unconsolidated sediment deposited in layers

Deposition
Sedimentary rocks are made by the majority of the crust are covered by a thin veneer of loose sediment, and the rock which is made as layers of this debris get compacted and cemented together.
hahahahah
It is sand. Edit: Over many thousands of years - sediment gets compressed and compacted into layers. The layers form rocks such as slate and coal.
