Here's how it works:

* Weathering: This is the process where rocks are broken down into smaller pieces by forces like wind, rain, ice, and temperature changes.

* Erosion: This is the process where the weathered pieces are transported by wind, water, or ice to a new location.

* Deposition: The transported pieces settle and accumulate in layers.

* Compaction: The weight of overlying layers presses the sediments together, squeezing out water and air.

* Cementation: Dissolved minerals in the water between the sediments crystallize, binding the sediments together to form solid rock.

Examples of sedimentary rocks include:

* Sandstone: Formed from sand grains.

* Limestone: Formed from the shells of marine organisms.

* Shale: Formed from compacted clay.

* Conglomerate: Formed from rounded gravel.
