True.
Generically they are called sediments
original horizontality
In disturbed sediments without layers, the relative age of the sediments would be unknown.
The oldest layers of undisturbed sediment are at the bottom.
The action of water and gravity cause them to form in layers.
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the accumulation of sediments.
A sedimentary rock
When layers of small sediments stick together because of pressure, compaction occurs. :)
Igneous rock
because they are sedimentary rock
conglomerate
Sedimentation of transported weathered and eroded material is continuous, cyclical, or event based. New sediments are deposited on top of existing sediments, forming layers that may be visible in a sedimentary rock body.
