∙ 11y agoSedimentary rocks are formed by deposited of various materials like decomposed animal/ plant waste, earth. sand, gravel etc for a number of years in order of thousands, these are formed in layers and the layers are visible. These rocks are usually fragile, low in strength. Eg. Sand stone, Slate

What type of rocks are created as layer of sediment?
Sedimentary Rocks. Sedimentary rocks are created from stratification by the layering of materials on one another which then get compacted and cemented by sedimentation process over long period of time. The whole process of formation of sedimentary rocks from sediment is called Diagnesis. Examples of sedimentary rocks are limestone, chalk, and sandstone.
