Through the processes of weathering (breaking of rocks into smaller pieces) and erosion (transport of material from one place to another by ice, wind, water, and gravity), or by the transport or exposure of sedimentary rock by tectonic forces, such as plate movements.

What else can I help you with?
Three ways in which sedimentary rocks differ from other rocks?
Sedimentary rocks are made up of materials that were once part of another rock. Most sediments are deposited on ocean floors or at the bottom of rivers and lakes.Clastic sedimentary rocks form from layers of sediments. Pressure causes the water around the sediments to be squeezed out and the sediments are cemented together.
What types of minerals are clastic sedimentary rocks made of?
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.
How are sedimentary rocks important to human knowledge?
Sedimentary rocks are composed of layers, and show how layers have built up over time. Hope this helps!
Which plateau in India is made up of sedimentary rocks?
deccan plateau
How did carbon get locked up in sedimentary rocks?
by growing and they cool both down
Most non clastic sedimentary rocks are made up of what?
Most non-clastic sedimentary rocks are made up of minerals that have precipitated from water, such as limestone, which is composed of calcite. Other non-clastic sedimentary rocks include organic-rich rocks like coal and chert, a silica-rich rock formed from the remains of marine organisms.
Why sedimentary rocks are found as a veneer covering large areas of continental igneous rock?
Sedimentary rocks are the result of broken down igneous rocks so they cover up most of igneous rocks.
What kind of rocks are caused by weathering?
The most common rock that experiences weathering, is sedimentary rocks. Metamorphic and Igneous are unlikey to.
Can igneous rocks change into sedimentary rocks?
Normally when sedimentary rocks are squashed and heated they do indeed change, they become metamorphic rocks. e.g. mud will be turned into slate - limestone into marble etc.As the metamorphic temperature and pressure increase still further, most sedimentary rocks end up as Granulites or Banded Gneisses which look very much like igneous rocks (Granites).In the extreme, sedimentary rocks can melt, and these melts will form new magmas which will eventually harden to form new igneous rocks.

What rock makes up ten percent of all sedimentary rocks?
Limestone makes up ten percent of all sedimentary rocks.
What are the Himalayas made of?
Mount Everest is made up of sedimentary rocks.
What rocks make up the Canadian badlands?
Igneous Rocks, metamorphic rocks, and sedimentary rocks
Which location would most likely produce sedimentary rocks a dried-up lake bed of the side of a volcano?
A dried-up lake bed would most likely produce sedimentary rocks as the sediments from the lake would settle and be compacted over time. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and compression of sediments. On the side of a volcano, you would expect more volcanic and igneous rocks to form from the volcanic activity.
What type of rocks make up most of Earths surface?
Sedimentary rock is the most common Earth surface rock.
How do shells end up being trapped in solid rocks?
The "solid rocks" are sedimentary rock - they started out as the bottom of lakes, streams and rivers. That's where you find shells.
