Mud compacts and hardens over millions of years to form sedimentary rock, such as shale or mudstone. The pressure and heat from the layers above accelerate the process of lithification, transforming the mud into solid rock.

Why are some resources are non renewable?

Some resources, like oil, are made millions of years ago from animals which have died at that time.
