sediment
What is The formation of large rocks from particles of sediment that occurs as pressure is applied?
What is the process in which rocks ate broken down into smaller pieces by ice, water
Does erosion break down rocks into sediment?
Erosion can sure help in the breakdown of rocks, but technically, erosion is the movement of material from one place to another place. Weathering is the term used to describe the breaking down of rocks.
How do you find the layers of rocks?
flood the land and make the sediment rise to the top of the water
What does rocks break down to?
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.

Can sedimentary rocks and igneous rocks change into metamorphic rocks?
By them being boroken down (sediment) then exposed to great pressure.
What happens to a river?
Sediment and small rocks are carried down in the river and are deposited.

Sediment.
Is Sediment is breaking down rocks into tiny pieces like sand?
Yes, sediment is formed when rocks are weathered and broken into smaller pieces like sand, silt, and clay. This process can be caused by mechanical weathering (physical forces like water, wind, or ice) or chemical weathering (reactions with water, acids, or other substances).
How can metamorphic and igneous rocks change into sedimentary rocks?
By them being boroken down (sediment) then exposed to great pressure.
