Sedimentary rocks are made by the majority of the crust are covered by a thin veneer of loose sediment, and the rock which is made as layers of this debris get compacted and cemented together.
They are formed when layers of loose debris get compacted together at the Earth's surface
Clastic sedimentary rocks are made of broken pieces of preexisting rock that are compacted together. The mineral quartz makes up sixty percent of the clastic sedimentary rocks.

Sedimentary rocks can be made from any kind of material, from other rocks to shells to plant material. Basically, any rock, from metamorphic to igneous and even to sedimentary, can be weathered and eroded. These particles and grains can be carried great distances by wind, water, ice, etc. before they are deposited and lithified (cemented) back together to form sedimentary rocks.
Rocks made from sediments being compacted & cemented together.
Rock that is formed from volcanoes are igneous rocks. Sedimentary rocks are formed from other layers of grains that are heaving and over millions of years have enough weight squish the grains into a proper rock. This is why the newest rocks are found at the top of layers.

Sedimentary rocks. and metamorphic rocks made form sedimentary rocks.

other sedimentary rocks.
Mount Everest is made up of sedimentary rocks.
Sedimentary rocks.
Yes, Limestone is made out of sedimentary rock!!!
no because sedimentary rocks are made at the bottom of oceans
Chemical sedimentary rocks are formed by the precipitation of minerals from water.
Clastic sedimentary rocks.
Sedimentary rocks that are made from compressed plants are called biologic sedimentary rocks. Accumulated carbon-rich plant material can result to the formation of coal.
