How do you use sedimentary rock in a sentence?

Answer 1

The word 'sedimentary rock' is a compound noun, a word for a thing.

A noun functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.

Examples:

The sedimentary rock told the history of the area in layers. (subject of the sentence)

Bits of quartz made the sedimentary rock sparkle in the sun. (direct object of the verb 'made')

We climbed up the steps cut into the sedimentary rock. (object of the preposition 'into')

Sedimentary rocks are laid down in layers, sometimes on the seabed. (subject of the sentence)

Answer 2

The cliff face is made of layered sedimentary rock, showing millions of years of deposition and geological history.
