Sedimentary rocks are the result of broken down igneous rocks so they cover up most of igneous rocks.
Sediments or the sources of sediments can change from erosional factors and plate tectonics. The basement ignweous or metamorphic rock could have been uplifted by plate tectonics, then subsided, starting the deposition of sediments which became sedimentary rock.
Sedimentary rock is formed over millions of years by the accumulation of certain substances. Sandstone is formed from grains of weathered rock, limestone is formed from the skeletal remains of minute sea creatures, slate is formed from finer muds and clays. Whichever substance formed the layers, put under immense pressure over a very long time, they harden into rock. Upheaval of the sedimentary rock often lifted the layers up from the sea floor and onto land.
Erosion of surface features, transportation by wind and water, deposition, and accumulation.
Igneous rocks weather and erode, oceans come and go; both processes have left vast amounts of sediment which can lithify into sedimentary rock, infilling low areas of the continents.
they are found in layers because over the millions of years they have formed over the top of each other and eventually formed a rock

due to constant weathering condition.
Feldspar is a mineral. It can be found it sedimentary and metamorphic rocks though.
Sedimentary Rock. Strata is layers of sedimentary rock that form from the deposition of sediment.
No. It is an igneous rock, more specific a volcanic rock. It is essentially sulfur and often found around the craters or necks of volcanos.
No. In general, there are no fossils in igneous or metamorphic rocks, because the high heat and pressure involved would destroy any fossils. Fossils are almost always found in sedimentary rock.

Pyrite could be found in any of the three rock types (sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic).
It is generally igneous, but can be found in metamorphic rocks.
