The Formation of Sedimentary Rocks
November2
Wind and water erodes and deposits sediments
Sediments fall to the bottom of oceans and lakes
Sediments areĀ pressed and squeezed together through a process called compaction
Over millions of years, layers continue to build-up
The sediments become stuck together forming the rocks that eventually become layered
The layers become cemented due to extreme pressure and heat
Heat and pressure changes or transforms the compressed sediments into sedimentary rock
