How is sandstone formed and what are the key processes involved in its creation?

Sandstone is formed through the accumulation and cementation of sand grains over time. The key processes involved in its creation include the erosion of rocks to produce sand, transportation of the sand by wind or water, deposition of the sand in layers, and the compaction and cementation of the sand grains to form solid rock.
