A layer of sediment undergoes several key steps. First, it is deposited through processes such as erosion, weathering, and transportation by water, wind, or ice. Over time, the sediment becomes compacted and cemented through lithification, where pressure and chemical processes transform loose particles into solid rock. Finally, the sedimentary layer can be exposed to surface processes, leading to further erosion and the potential for new sedimentary layers to form above it.

How can a sedimentary rock be re formed?
A sedimentary rock can be re-formed through the process of lithification, where loose sediment is compacted and cemented together to create a solid rock. This can occur through pressure from overlaying sediment layers and the precipitation of minerals in the pore spaces between sediment grains. Over time, these processes transform loose sediment into a cohesive sedimentary rock.
Do other rocks need to experience metamorphism to be changed into sedimentary or igneous rocks?
No. Any rock at the surface can be eroded, deposited as sediment, and then lithified into sedimentary rock. Most rock that melts into magma goes through a metamorphic phases first, however.

What happens to sediment over time?
Sedimentary layers are conspicuous by the neighbors they keep. There are two types of sedimentary layers; those that have formed and those that are today forming. Over time they are compressed and thereby preserved.
What objects can stop gamma rays?
Gamma rays can be blocked by a thick amount of lead. Alpha -> goes through thin mica -> then stops at skin or paper. Beta -> Goes through thin mica - then goes through skin or paper -> gets stopped at lead. Gamma -> Goes through thin mica -> goes through skin or paper -> then can be slowed down by lead or can be stopped completely by a thick amount of lead. I may have Beta and alpha mixed up but please excuse me as im writing this out of my book (:
What happens to metamorphic rock when it goes through erosion?
it turns into sediment
What are the steps electricity takes to get from a power plant to your home?
It goes through a step up transformer then a step down transformer then into your home. It goes through wires.
How does acid rain effect the earths ozone layer?
it goes through and harms the layer,plus it damages staues or things with same objects
What if the needle goes through the fifth layer of skin can you get ink poisoning?
If the needle goes through your stratum corneum (5th layer) your chances of getting ink poisoning are fairly high, but it depends on how many times the neele penetrates throught to that 5th layer/ how much ink is inserted into a person's bloodstream.
What are the steps a population goes through to become a new spieces?
there are no set amount of steps some animals will evolve faster then others
