Through the effects of weathering and the transportation of the resultant sediments by erosion to a place where the sediments are deposited in still waters or in land based sedimentary deposits where they are compacted and cemented together into a rock.

Why does it take millions of years for energy from the sun that moves in every direction to leave the radiation layer?

The energy from the sun that moves in every direction takes millions of years to leave the radiation layer because of the high density of the layer, which causes the energy to scatter and be absorbed and re-emitted many times before eventually making its way out. This process of absorption and re-emission within the radiation layer delays the escape of solar energy into space.


What is it called when a rock is produced from a layer of plants?

When a rock is produced from a layer of plants, it is called coal. Coal forms from the remains of plants that have been compacted, heated, and subjected to pressure over millions of years.
