Answer:
why do the layers of sedimentary rocks parallel to earth's surface?
Why are sedimentary rocks found on or close to Earth's surface?
Explanation: Erosion breaks existing rocks and turns them into sediments. ... When subjected to heat and pressure deeper in the earth sedimentary rocks are changed into igneous and metamorphic rocks. Because erosion only happens on the earth's surface sedimentary rocks are only formed on the earth's surface.
Explanation:
Why do sedimentary rocks have layers and how these layers are formed?
The different groups of sediments could have been deposited through wind, water, ice, and/or gravity at different intervals of time and compacted on top of each other, until they create a sedimentary rock that has several different types of sediments (possibly from different rock types) in the form of layers.
