Answer: Sedimentary rocks make up 75 percent of the rocks at the earth's surface but only 5 percent of the outer 10 miles of the earth. Sediment, as distinguished from sedimentary rock, is a collective name for loose, solid particles and is generally derived from weathering and erosion of preexisting rock.

Answer:

5% and 75%

<u>Explanation:</u>

The outermost 10 kilometers of rock according to geographers has about 5% of sedimentary rocks.

The continental area of the Earth represents the Earth surface and the total land area of all continents is about 148,647,000 square kilometres.
