Question

Which processes beings the formation of sedimentary rock?​

Answer 1

Answer:

clastic sedimentary rock are made up of pieces 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 very deeply, it becomes compacted and cemented, forming sedimentary rock.

Answer 2

Answer:

Sedimentary rocks are the product of 1) weathering of preexisting rocks, 2) transport of the weathering products, 3) deposition of the material, followed by 4) compaction, and 5) cementation of the sediment to form a rock. The latter two steps are called lithification. A sediment is a particle of solid, loose pieces of rocks (in the form of sand, silt, clay, and gravel), or the remains of living organisms. Sediment is material that has been eroded, transported and deposited by wind, running water, waves, and ice in a place.

These rocks can also form from by the evaporation of seawater, or the settling of the remains of organisms in a water body. Sediment can become compacted, cemented and are foundin layers. Sedimentary rock is often found in layers.

Sedimentary rocks are formed on or near the Earth's surface, in contrast to metamorphic and igneous rocks, which are formed deep within the Earth. The most important geological processes that lead to the creation of sedimentary rocks are erosion, weathering, dissolution, precipitation, and lithification.
