How does sedimentary rock form?
Flauer [41]
Clastic sedimentary rocks are made up of pieces (clasts) of pre-existing rocks. Pieces of rock are loosened by weathering, then transported to some basin or depression where sediment is trapped. If the sediment is buried deeply, it becomes compacted and cemented, forming sedimentary rock.

Human activities such as mining, pollution, minerals processing, landfills, etc have an effect on the flow pattern.

<h3>Effect of pollution</h3>

For example, sewage and effluent are discharged into rivers in some areas and this can lower the pH of the water, and hence affect the organisms.
