What is the correct order of the process responsible for the formation of sedimentary rock?
Wiki User
∙ 6y ago
In clastic (or detrital) sedimentary rock:
- Weathering of an existing body of igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary rock by natural mechanical or chemical means.
- Erosion of the weathered particles by wind, water, ice, and gravity.
- Deposition of the particles after transportation.
- Compaction of the particles by the weight of overlying sediments.
- Cementation of the particles by mineral precipitation from surrounding fluids.

Does weathering go with metamorphic or igneas or sedimentary?
Weathering can happen to any rock. It is the first stage in the process that leads to the formation of sedimentary rock.
What is a type of sedimentary rock formed by the precipitation of minerals dissolved in a lake river or seawater?
sedimentary rock formed by the denudational process of various activity. the sediments in sea water may deposited and thus lead to the formation of sedimentary rock

What is the first process that occurs in the formation of sedimentary rocks?
Although sedimentary rocks form in a variety of processes, the first process that would occur in the formation of the most common sedimentary rocks would be that of weathering, which is the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces through chemical or mechanical means by nature.
