Here's why:
* Sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and cementation of sediments, which are fragments of other rocks, minerals, or organic matter.
* High temperature and pressure are key elements in the formation of igneous rocks (from molten magma) and metamorphic rocks (from the transformation of existing rocks under heat and pressure).
Examples of sedimentary rocks:
* Sandstone: formed from sand grains.
* Limestone: formed from the accumulation of shells and other marine organisms.
* Shale: formed from clay and silt.
* Coal: formed from the accumulation of plant matter.
