when rock fragments or sand are settled (usually in water) it compresses and turns into a sedimentary rock.
You can see all the different layers due to different densities.
The movement of rock fragments is called erosion.
A sedimentary rock made up of rounded fragments of other rocks is called a conglomerate.
Rock fragments are called sediments and by a process called lithification they turn into sedimentary rocks. Lithification is made up by compaction and cementation which is by pressure and a natural glue that is formed from groundwater the sediments stick together and then harden into rock.
Broken pieces of rock are called fragments or rubble.

A clastic rock.
sedimentary
A sedimentary rock that forms when rock fragments are squeezed together is called a conglomerate. This rock is composed of rounded fragments that have been cemented together by a finer material, such as sand or mud.
Sedimentary rock composed of older fragments of rock is called a conglomerate. This type of rock forms when pebbles and small stones are cemented together.
The movement of rock fragments is called erosion.

A sedimentary rock made up of rounded fragments of other rocks is called a conglomerate.
Rock fragments are called sediments and by a process called lithification they turn into sedimentary rocks. Lithification is made up by compaction and cementation which is by pressure and a natural glue that is formed from groundwater the sediments stick together and then harden into rock.
Sedimentary rocks made of weathered rock fragments are called clastic sedimentary rocks. These rocks are formed from the accumulation and cementation of fragments that have been weathered, eroded, and transported from their original source. Examples include sandstone, shale, and conglomerate.
