How many steps are there to create a clastic sedimentary rock?
# Weathering--the physical or chemical breakdown of rock into smaller particles. # Erosion--occurs when water, wind, ice, or gravity transport the rock particles. # Deposition-- the process by which sediment settles out of the water, wind, or ice carrying it. # Compaction- the process that presses sediments together, squeezing out air and fluids from spaces between particles. # Cementation- the process in which dissolved minerals crystalize and glue particles of sediment together. Note: it takes millions of years for compaction and cementation to transform loose sediments into solid sedimentary rock
