Compaction and cementation of sediments are the processes of lithification which form clastic sedimentary rock.
Rocks that are formed by layers of sediments that are compacted over time are appropriately named sedimentary rocks.
Sedimentary rock is formed from pieces of other rocks, minerals, and organic materials that have been compacted and cemented together over time. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, shale, and limestone.
Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediments are compressed, compacted, and cemented together. Examples include sandstone, shale, and limestone.
Sediments are formed in the natural environment through the process of weathering and erosion. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, while erosion transports these pieces to new locations where they settle and accumulate as sediments. Over time, these sediments can be compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rocks.
Sedimentary rocks. These rocks are formed through the deposition and cementation of materials like pieces of other rocks, plant and animal matter, or dissolved minerals, which accumulate over time and solidify into rock layers.

No, because a sedimentary rock is formed from pieces of other rocks.
Rocks made from sediments being compacted & cemented together.
Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediments are compressed, compacted, and cemented together. Examples include sandstone, shale, and limestone.
Sedimentary rock is formed when bits of other rocks or organic materials are compacted and cemented together over time. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, shale, and conglomerate.
Sediments are formed in the natural environment through the process of weathering and erosion. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, while erosion transports these pieces to new locations where they settle and accumulate as sediments. Over time, these sediments can be compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rocks.
They are called sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rock can't be dated using radioactive dating because it is composed of sediment, which is actually small pieces of different rocks. To date it, you have to use radioactive dating on the surrounding rocks.
Sedimentary rocks. These rocks are formed through the deposition and cementation of materials like pieces of other rocks, plant and animal matter, or dissolved minerals, which accumulate over time and solidify into rock layers.
A sedimentary rock formed from pieces of other rocks is called a conglomerate. Conglomerates are made up of rounded or angular fragments of various sizes and types of rocks that have been cemented together.
Sedimentary rocks are created when pieces of other rocks, plants, animal matter, or dissolved minerals collect and form layers over time. These layers are then compacted and cemented together to create sedimentary rocks like sandstone, shale, and limestone.
