Sedimentary rocks tend to erode easily compared to other types of rocks as the grains within them are farther apart than the "grains" in, let's say, igneous rocks. As a result of this, the "grains" can be easily crumble. An example of this is sand.

Rock that is formed from volcanoes are igneous rocks. Sedimentary rocks are formed from other layers of grains that are heaving and over millions of years have enough weight squish the grains into a proper rock. This is why the newest rocks are found at the top of layers.

weathering of preexisting rocks form clastic sedimentary rocks, Oversaturated water basins form chemical sedimentary rocks after the water evaporates and dead sea organisms settle at the bottom forming biochemical sedimentary rocks.
Sedimentary rocks can be both chemically and mechanically weathered.
No, because a sedimentary rock is formed from pieces of other rocks.

Some rocks are harder than others like sandstone which is very soft. Other times rock can have different conditions under which they will erode faster such as limestone.
Rock that erodes to expose layering is known as sedimentary rock.
Yes, granite can erode, albeit very slowly, as it is a very srong, hard rock. All naturally occurring rocks will erode, given time
Some rocks are softer and more sedimentary than others. This allows water to weather them faster, thus causing higher permeability.
The rocks erode and cause sedimentary rocks, such as shale. The river will most likely cut across the rock.
Yes, because the ion chloride (Cl-) is corrosive.
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
Weathering and erosion.
Metamorphic rocks are classified by foliation or lack there of, not sedimentary rocks. They are classified into Clastic Sedimentary, and Chemical Sedimentary.
Metamorphic rocks can undergo further metamorphism through additional heat and pressure. They can also be melted, then cooled, and become igneous rock. They can also erode and become components of sedimentary rocks.
