<u>Sediment</u> is formed as a result of interaction of igneous rock with wind and water over a long period of time.
<u>Explanation</u>:
An igneous rock is formed by the weathering of the molten earth material. If the igneous rock is continuously exposed to wind and water for long time then the fragments of the rock will get loosened. This causes the fragment to fall off and sediments will be formed.
Sediment is a material that is broken off from the rocks due to specific weather condition. As metamorphic rock requires high temperature or high pressure for its formation, it cannot occur with the interaction of wind and water.
The rate of chemical weathering will increase because the rock that has been mechanically weathered will be smaller and have more surface area.
