Most sedimentary rocks are formed through a series of processes: erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation. There are three major groups of sedimentary rocks: clastic rocks, organic rocks, and chemical rocks. People have used sedimentary rocks throughout history for many different purposes, including building materials and tools.
