What is the difference between ponds lakes and estuaries?
Estuaries are flooded valleys at a river's mouth. Deltas are prograding wedges of sediment at a river's mouth. Estuaries may develop into deltas overtime as more sediment builds up and out at the river's mouth. Estuary is a zone of mixing of fresh & saline water.........but delta is made of fresh water's silt near a sea.....
Describe the sequence of events in the formation of a sandstone?
The formation of sandstone involves two principal stages. First, a layer or layers of sand accumulates as the result of sedimentation, and then the sand becomes sandstone when it is compacted by pressure of overlying deposits.

Is sedimentary rocks made of hardened lava?
No. Sediment builds up on a bottom of a body of water, and sinks to the bottom. This is mostly little creatures near the surface of the water who die, then sink to the bottom. After decades of this, quite a thick layer of sediment is built up. This sediment can later be turned into . . . sediment ary rock.
How are rocks made?
When pressure pushes down on sediment, the sediment turn solid because they have sat aside for a long time and the pressure builds up to form a rock.

Is a delta formed by weathering or erosion?
Contrary to your question, it is formed by deposition. When a river reaches a lake or the sea, water slows down and loses the power to carry sediment . The sediment is dropped at the mouth of the river, and sediment builds up in layers, forming a delta.
