Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediments over time. Individual grains are deposited and then squashed together to form larger rocks.
when the bits of the rocks get deposited it forms layers after many years these layers of sediment gets cementated which means gets squashed and compacted which means gets glued and they forms in to sedimentary rocks.thanks for reading
can you ask how many layers deposited within biocorrelation
Rocks with grains arranged in parallel layers are called sedimentary rocks. These rocks form when sediment such as sand, mud, or organic material is deposited and compacted over time. Examples include sandstone and shale.
The topmost rock layer is the one that was deposited last, as rock layers are typically deposited in a vertical sequence with the oldest layers at the bottom and the youngest layers at the top.
Sandstone is formed from the accumulation and compression of sand grains over millions of years. The sand grains are typically deposited in marine, desert, or riverside environments, and as they are buried and compressed by additional layers of sediment, the grains are cemented together to form solid rock.
The increased pressure from the compacted sediment forces water out from between the sand grains, causing it to be squeezed out and drained away. This compaction reduces the porosity and permeability of the sand, making it harder for water to flow through.
The layers of soil that were naturally deposited are called, 'Horizons'.
