OK, first the sediments are deposited then they under go cementation (being ''glued together'' by minerals that are left after evaporation) or it can go through compaction ( pressed together). And that is really all that happens.
The process by which layers of sedimentary rock are formed is called strata.
Sedimentary Rock. Strata is layers of sedimentary rock that form from the deposition of sediment.
Yes.
Detrital sedimentary rock. clastic sedimentary A+
Settlement and compaction. As particles (sediments) are dumped, lets say, at the bottom of a lake, they will begin to settle and eventually harden into a sedimentary rock.

That process, of itself, does not form a particular "type" of rock. what it produces is rock "strata" where the rock involved could be igneous or sedimentary in origin.
A sedimentary rock
Over Ancient Rock
Yes.
Sedimentary rock layers. your welcome
This is Shale, a Sedimentary rock.
Bedrock
Sedimentary rock
Yes. A sedimentary rock, over time, can become buried under layers of newer rock. The heat and pressure from being in between layers of old and new rock, will change it from sedimentary to metamorphic.
Sedimentary rock, like limestone, is formed in layers.
